Oh, Sal

A stand-alone companion to two-time Newbery Honor author Kevin Henkes''s award-winning, bestselling, and acclaimed The Year of Billy Miller and Billy Miller Makes a Wish .

The Miller family is celebrating its first holiday with the new baby. Billy is excited that Uncle Jake is visiting, but nothing about this holiday season is making Billy''s little sister Sal happy.

Will Sal find her present? Will the Millers find a name for the baby? Will Billy always be an annoying big brother?
