Rowena "Ro" is a high-spirited 11-year-old hoping to add more spunk to her Christmas celebrations when her parents’ divorce is going anything but smoothly.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Mostly gentle family comedy, but slapstick injuries, a bully, parental divorce, remarriage, and emotional worry about family change may need discussion with younger children. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
