Editor’s Note: The answers to the questions below were written by 11-year-old Liyla without any help from an adult.

What is the book this month?

The book The Ravens by Kass Morgan and Danielle Paige took me on an adventure like no other. This Book Club is outstanding. It sends you a box with a book and 4 gifts. The gifts go along with the book. The Ravens is a story about sorority girls who are actually witches. Not the green and old warty kind. The girls are divided into 4 groups: water, earth, air, and fire.

Vivian and Scarlett are the main characters and are trying to find out why terrible things are happening and who is making everything go wrong at their beloved Kappa Rho sorority house. At first Scarlett dislikes Vivian, but a very strong connection grows between them. Vivian is the strongest earth sign and someone is after her because of it. Scarlet has to let go of someone she loves in order to keep them safe and stop whatever dark magic is coming or else it will kill them all.

It surprised me the most to find out who was causing the terrible things to happen and why they were doing it. I personally really liked the book. It is a thrilling adventure, funny, sad and loving, all in one. I did not have anything I disliked about this book. I would definitely recommend it.

What is Once Upon a Time Book Club?

It is a monthly book club that comes in the mail with a newly released book with 3 – 5 small gifts with page numbers on them. When you get to a certain page in the book, you open the present and it seems as though you are in the book itself.

Why be part of a book club?

So people like me, who love to read all the time and want to go on adventures, but don’t want to leave their comfort zone, can experience new people and places. I am 11 and can’t exactly drive yet, so I am limited.

What is next month’s book?

The Love Curse of Melody McIntyre by Robin Talley. I cannot wait to read this book.

One of Liyla’s favorite Christmas presents this year was the subscription her mother gave her to the Once Upon a Book Club at OnceUponABookClub.com. The website offers 1 – 12 month subscriptions for either Young Adults (age 14+) or Adults (age 18+). Each monthly box includes a newly-released book as well as 3 – 5 related gifts, a 5” x 7” print of a quote from the book, discussion questions, and online group discussions on Facebook and Instagram.

Photo of the Month: Joseph Sanders My journey in portrait photography came in stages that were out of order from what one would typically think. Most of the time, someone will start with taking photos of family and friends, slowly learn the mechanics of the camera, and eventually master the editing techniques needed to produce professional looking headshots. For me, it was quite the opposite. Starting my freshman year at Williston-Elko High School, I began to explore the world of Adobe Photoshop in my computer graphics class. I liked it so much that I took that same class twice over my four years there just for fun. Once I moved

Traditions By Kyleigh Huse and Samantha Tran What traditions does your family have? My family has many traditions but Christmas has the most for sure. My personal favorite tradition is when we get to eat Christmas dinner with the whole family and open Christmas presents. I would imagine this being a common holiday tradition, as I share this with many people. Personally this tradition is my favorite too. My plans wouldn’t change for Christmas would not change. Where I come from my grandma usually prepares Christmas dinner we all go to her house, drink hot chocolate, and open Christmas presents. Another tradition we have is baking cakes, cookies, pumpkin roll,

The Nutcracker | An Iconic Christmas Tradition

For many, Peter Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition that kicks off the holiday season. When the music starts, you can close your eyes and allow visions of sugarplums, snowflakes, flowers, and an enchanted place enter your imagination. The Nutcracker is based on E.T.A. Hoffmann’s popular 1816 story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.” The idea to use the story as the basis for a ballet came from the impresario and director of the Russian Imperial Theaters, Ivan Vsevolozhsky, who had conceived of The Sleeping Beauty. Vsevolozhsky and the ballet master Marius Petipa, who had choreographed The Sleeping Beauty, wrote the libretto, or story line, for The Nutcracker and
