☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains three stories: "Dirinda 'Neath the Mistletoe," in which a girl named Jane suffers a sprained ankle before a rodeo and must stay with her friend Kip, who helps her recover in time to see Calico win the show; "Dorothy Dare: Queen of Hollywood Stunt Artists," depicting Dorothy's work performing dangerous stunts for Miracle Pictures, including a high-dive sequence; and "That Brooklyn Boy," a profile of nineteen-year-old singer Vic Damone, whose talent was discovered by Lou Capone in New York and who now pursues a career in entertainment while remaining a normal teenager interested in sports and dating.
Two days before Christmas, Dirinda Jones and her friends put aside their tree-trimming to plan a more meaningful holiday—one where they can bring joy to children in need. When Dirinda decides to give away all her own gifts to make poor kids happy, she discovers that sacrifice and true Christmas spirit come with unexpected complications, including a stolen package, a misunderstanding with the police, and a chance encounter under the mistletoe with someone special.
Susan Reed discovers her voice through a high school term paper on folk music and begins singing for her own pleasure, but her journey takes a turn when she performs for veterans in hospitals, bringing warmth and hope to wounded soldiers. As she trains her natural voice and pursues her ambitions on the Broadway stage, this 1947 biography captures how a red-haired, freckled girl next door became a rising star with the voice, drive, and determination to make it big.
