They lie, steal, smoke cigars, hit little kids, cuss their teachers, and even set fire to a tool shed. Their father disappeared a few years ago, their mother works a double shift, and the children are pretty much left to their own devices. The six Herdman kids are a handful – and then some. If you like this story, be sure to check out the other hilarious books in The Herdmans series. Because of their involvement, the story of Christmas is going to be a bit different than you remember. The Herdmans have never heard the Christmas story before, but don’t worry! They have great imaginations and are happy to fill in the gaps. So when the Herdmans step into a church to take advantage of the free food, the other kids are not so excited to see them take over the Christmas pageant. They set fire to Fred Shoemaker’s tool shed, blackmailed Wanda Pierce to get her charm bracelet, smacked Alice Wendelken across the head… the list goes on and on. The Hermans have earned their reputation. The six Herdman siblings are “the worst kids in the history of the world.” In Barbara Robinson’s The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys engage in the most outrageous shenanigans during the local church’s annual Christmas pageant.
