‘Twas the Fight Before Christmas
McGee and Me! #9
by Bill Myers
My rating: 5 / 5
Genre: Children’s Christian fiction
This is one of my favorite stories of the series, as Nick realizes that even a bully deserves God’s love and that it might be up to Nick to tell him about it. Being wrapped up in the warmth of the Christmas season was just what I needed during this extra difficult holiday myself, the first without my mom. And though it was a brief moment, Nick’s sister lamenting about the lost wise man from the family’s nativity scene as a parallel to the lost Derrick, who is playing a wise man in the Christmas pageant, was really touching to me. I think the heart found in this story made me all the more annoyed by McGee’s ridiculous ego during his scenes, but I still enjoyed the main story a lot. These books may not be easy to find anymore, but if you do have the chance to read this book or procure it for an 8-10-year-old child, I recommend it.
