Review: Samantha's Surprise : Samantha's Surprise is about a girl named Samantha that got a very special surprise from someone she loves. 12 weeks before Christmas, Samantha's best friend,Ida, gave her an invitation to her Christmas party. Then Ida and Sam,Samantha, went to the toy shop. Sam stared into the shop's window admiring the beautiful Nutcracker doll. Later on Sam went to her house and tried on the new dress Granmary's semstress,Jessie, made for her. Then Sam asked Grandmary if she could go to Ida's party, but she can't because Sam's uncle is bringing his girlfriend so they have to meet Cornelia properly on their first meet. Once Cornelia and Uncle Gard got there and it ends up that Sam,Cornelia,and Uncle Grad had a wondreful time instead of having a horrible time as Sam thought it might be. On Christmas, Sam got the Nutcracker doll she wanted and everyone loved Sam's gifts she gave. Especialy Cornelia. Sam had a wonderful Christmas after all.
