The Jubilee Express
Maureen Johnson
This is the first story of the three part story "Let it Snow". I decide even though they are connected, that i would review them separately.
Jubilee, after her parents go to jail after being caught in a squabble, is left on christmas eve to be sent to her grandparent's house to spend christmas. Away from her boyfriend, the perfect Noah. After her train get stuck in the snow, she treks to the nearest heated building, a waffle house. She meets Stuart, and learns alot about her relationship with Noah, while staying with his family for christmas.
I love this book. Stuart is such a sweet character, and Jubilee in this book has a teen epiphany about her boyfriend. Noah, isn't a mean and horrible boyfriend, he is just a little bit too not concerned with her well being, and after being through a horrible day, he still is the same, and Stuart helps her realize that. I would give this short story an A.
