Christmas is coming and 12-year-old Keira couldn't be more excited. She can't wait to enjoy all of the fun festive traditions with her two moms and make new memories during her first Christmas season in New England.
This Christmas is shaping up to be extra exciting for Keira because she's expecting to receive her very first pet: a cat from the animal shelter. However, while Keira can't wait to become the cat mom she's always wanted to be, she's perhaps even more excited for the Advent season.
Advent calendars have long been one of Keira's special interests. This year, Keira is hoping for a running Advent calendar, since running has quickly become Keira's latest obsession ever since she started running for the middle school cross-country team in the fall.
However, in much the same way that Keira's recent autism diagnosis shook up her self-concept, this Advent season will challenge Keira to navigate changes, adjust her expectations, and look inward to learn more about herself and who she wants to be.
Keira's Christmas Countdown builds on many of the same central themes in Finally Found: identity, self-acceptance, family, friendship, love, navigating big feelings, and growing up. Readers will enjoy following Keira's growth and development as she digs into a daily Advent calendar that will teach her more about herself than she imagined.
Part funny, part festive, part moving, Keira's Christmas Countdown is the heartwarming sequel that fans of Finally Found-as well as anyone who can relate to quirky characters and family-focused stories-will love.Also from
