Review Quotes: "Elements of The Parent Trap echo throughout an irascible series launch from musician Quin and illustrator Ollerton that follows the daughters of amicably separated parents scheming to spend the holiday as a family. Alternating narration and freewheeling plotting are enlivened by the siblings' banter. It's a sweet and simple yuletide affair." --Publishers Weekly
