Book: Matchless by Gregory Maguire
Age-range: 0 and up
Do you find the Hans Christian Andersen story of The Little Match Girl depressing? Read this. It makes the story seem so much happier (although the little girl still dies). I had heard of this book before, but I didn't realize that it had been written to be read aloud on NPR. I would love to hear the original reading Gregory Maguire did. This is a great little Christmas story, although I still think it's pretty sad.
Happy reading!

I am very leery of Gregory Maguire. Where did you find the book?
I found it at the library in the middle-grade section. It's entirely appropriate, unlike his adult books.
