![]() ![]() The train gets stuck in Gracetown, which becomes the backdrop for all the stories, and when they announce the train wouldn't be moving again until morning, Jubilee heads over to a Waffle House, and it's there she meets a whole host of people including Tinfoil Guy (who is featured in Lauren's story as well), 14 cheerleaders and a Korean manager of the Waffle House, Keun. Jubilee is then sent on a train on Christmas Eve to Florida to stay with her grandparents because her big-shot neighbour lawyer Sam is unable to get them out of county jail. Her parents are so obsessed that they are mistaken for mob at the department store. Although saying that they were a challenge, the same can be said for Maureen Johnson's short story, The Jubilee Express.Ī girl called Jubilee has parents obsessed with something called the Flobie Santa Village (I originally thought this was an actual thing in America, but it turns out it's something made just for this novel), so much so that her name comes from the Jubilee Hall in the village. As each of them are stories in their own right, I faced a challenge as to how to review them. ![]() The woman, who Addie thought was crazy, had told Addie she was her Christmas angel.Joining John Green were two authors I'd never heard of before, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. Addie tracked down the person who purchased the pig and discovered an elderly lady whom she had waited on earlier that day at Starbucks. At the pet store, Addie learned Nathan had accidentally already sold the pig. In order to prove she has learned her lesson, Addie went to Pet World to pick up Tegan’s new pet pig, even though Nathan, a boy whom Addie did not like, worked there. ![]() In “the patron saint of pigs,” Addie has to learn the hard lesson that everything was not always about her. At the restaurant, however, Tobin realized he was more interested in the Duke than the cheerleaders. Believing he was in the middle of heaven, Keun had shared his good luck with Tobin and invited him to come as well. The cheerleaders had walked from the train to the Waffle House where Tobin’s friend Keun was working. Fourteen cheerleaders on their way to a competition had also been on the train on which Jubilee had been riding. On a Christmas Eve night trek through a blizzard, Tobin noticed the Duke was increasingly frustrated by his references to cheerleaders. ![]() In “a cheertastic christmas miracle,” the Duke and Tobin had always been close despite the fact she was a girl and he was a boy. Jubilee never expected the walk from the train to a nearby Waffle House would lead her to a new love. Instead of getting to Florida, however, the train was caught in a blizzard near a town called Gracetown. In “the jubilee express,” the authors do not capitalize chapter titles, when Jubilee’s parents were arrested Christmas Eve for being part of a riot, Jubilee had to take a train to her grandparents’ house in Florida. A bad snowstorm has hit the area changing the landscape and causing the train on which Jubilee, along with fourteen cheerleaders from Pennsylvania are riding. The stories are set in Gracetown beginning Christmas Eve night. Three interconnected love stories in the novel Let It Snow: Three Holiday Stories by Maureen Johnson, John Green and Lauren Myracle, combine a blizzard, cheerleaders, broken hearts and girl-crazy guys to result in unlikely Christmas miracles. The following version of the novel was used to create this study guide: Green, John Myracle, Lauren Johnson, Maureen. ![]()
