Reviews

Past Praise for Alan Michael Parker and Christmas In July:

Parkers narrative crackles and swirls, spinning in surprising directions, landing with a totally unexpected impact.Lit Hub

Parkers background in poetry is on full display in this novel in stories that follows Christmas Danzig, a 13-year-old girl with terminal cancer.Each tight and poignant story within is told from the perspective of one of the many misfit toys that Christmas meets along the way. All of these lovable goons and more make for a warm, fresh telling of a tragically familiar plight.
Booklist

Christmas Danzig, a girl in the middle of growing up, charms both resident and reader with her fractured past, her haunting present, and her inevitable future [] Parker delivers a first-rate heartbreaker that glows with regret, wit, and, above all, compassion.
Jon Pineda,Lets No One Get Hurt

In case of ghost, break glass. Beautifully touching, funny, and accurate.
Terese Svoboda,Anything That Burns You
