The Herdmans were absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lied and stole and smoked cigars (even the girls) and talked dirty and hit little kids and cussed their teachers and took the name of the Lord in vain and set fire to Fred Shoemaker’s old broken-down toolhouse.
Those sentences are from The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson. It’s a fun book to read at this time of year. Using the same book, I’ll answer this question:
Where am I? I’m in a small town in the U.S. watching as the children of the town are preparing for their Christmas program. Unfortunately, a family of horrible kids have forced their way into the best parts in the pageant. Could the pageant be headed for disaster?
