Rating: 4 out of 5

There are 2 stories in this novel: The Bird Wars & The Christmas Wars. In the Bird Wars Kayla feels totally miserable. Her  best friend, Jade, is ditching her and Kayla becomes friends with new girl Sabrina. But Sabrina looks down on Kayla and says mean things to her. Kayla now feel alone and doesn't know how to get friends. What's poor Kayla gonna do? (Totally felt bad for Kayla throughout the book except the end.)In the Christmas Wars, Nicole is friends with Nina, Kayla, and Sara. Christmas is right around the corner and Nicole's secret santa is a girl named Greta. Greta is weird and wears horrible clothes. Nicole doesn't like having Greta as a secret santa. So when she comes home her mother tells some very interesting information about Greta. After listening to her mom, Nicole tells her friends about Greta and they sit with her at lunch (since she's alone all the time). Greta begins smiling and feeling so much better and Nicole & Nina leave gifts all the time for Greta. Things are going great but when Nicole and her friends go shopping (alone for the first time!) Nicole is used in a bet between good friend Matt & hottie Walker Dane, who's a year older. Nicole now has to go to the Christmas Dance with Walker since he won the bet. Nicole feels horrible so what is she going to do? Miss out on the dance or go with the possibility of being embarrassed at her first school dance?I enjoyed both stories but I felt like they were incomplete, especially Christmas Wars. Christmas Wars sounded totally better than what I read. The synopsis seemed to be a little dramatic (in my opinion).Overall 2 good short stories, just incomplete.
