Platt, Randall

Liberty's Christmas / Randall Platt - New York : Texas Tech University Press , 2012 - 190 p. ; 24 cm.

Liberty’s college fund has gone to pay debts on her family’s tree farm, but the Joneses still owe the bank more money. She learns of a Christmas tree contest with a 500 prize, and steals the town’s Christmas tree that her grandfather planted decades earlier. With Rudy and Quiller’s help, she attempts to get the tree to Austin in time to win the contest, get money for the farm, and maybe have enough left to pay for college.
