Twelve-year-old Frannie struggles with anxiety and fears being left alone. Her unsympathetic mother tells her to pull herself together when she panics at the news of her parents' last-minute trip to Jamaica over Christmas. Predictably, her siblings throw a wild party on Christmas Eve, and Frannie, hiding in her room, wishes for a white Christmas, a puppy, and a loving family before falling asleep. When she wakes up, she's someone else: Dakota, in a picture-perfect family on a snow-covered farm, and she overcomes her anxiety to feed chickens and ride horses. When she wakes again, it is still Christmas, but now she is a famous teen pop star. The cycle continues this is part Quantum Leap, part Groundhog Day as she wakes to a new, increasingly less-perfect life each Christmas morning. While the final chapters read a little like therapy, the premise of waking to a new life is engaging, and Frannie makes for a sympathetic protagonist.--Harold, Suzanne Copyright 2016 Booklist
