    The Bells of Christmas has been rated 4 starsthis book shows the strength of the family

    I thought the was very interesting and heart-warming.My favorite part was when Jason and his father went and waited for thier cousins to celebrate Christmas along the National Road.It shows how much love the family shows for each other. By Cynthia Santagata

    The Bells of Christmas had some parts that were interesting. I would have liked to learn more about the father’s handicap. However, it seemed like most of the book passed with Jason sitting by the National Road. Learning about the Road seemed to evoke the most interest from my fifth-grade class. One year of that was enough.
