I was able to review Boo Humbug, by Rene Gutterige this month.
I have not read the first three books in the Boo series, but that didn't make reading this one difficult, though it may have shown me why some (all) of the characters were so bizarre! They were all weird like that TV show Northern Exposure. Just weird, weird things were going on. But it all fit. Especially if you have ever lived in a small town, which I have.

Rene Gutterige did a great job of wrapping up the end and I will admit to even shedding a tear or two. The gospel message well done. I am glad I read Boo Humbug, though it is not the type of book I normally read.
Summary: Readers have come to love the eccentric characters from Skary, Indiana, in Rene Gutteridge’s popular Boo! series. Now, in Boo, Humbug! they’re back – and they’re stirring up a large amount of holiday havoc.
It’s Christmastime in Skary, and the town is planning an original production of A Christmas Carol with a horror spin. As showtime approaches, things go very awry for director Lois Stepaphanopolis. She panics when she discovers that her marketing director loathes Christmas and that the audience has been promised not Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, but the real Christmas story. Can the actors pull off the improv of all improvs and convince their community to embrace the true meaning of the Christmas season?
Boo, Humbug! offers readers a delightful glimpse into small town, community life with heartwarming humor and winsome characters. And in the end, the true meaning of Christmas shines out bright and clear, in a decidedly un-Skary way.
