A homemade gift. Two mischievous brothers. And a Christmas that refuses to go according to plan.
Ten-year-old Emi Itotani wants to make the perfect Secret Santa gift for the newest member of the Crafty Girls Club. A bouquet of origami poinsettias should be just right—if only the paper would cooperate!
Meanwhile, her twin brothers are whispering, hiding supplies, and looking far too pleased with themselves. Emi is certain they’re planning an epic Christmas prank, and with her friends’ help, she’s determined to outsmart them for once.
But when Emi gets hit with the unexpected, she has more to untangle than her brothers’ secrets. With a little creativity and some wisdom from her beloved grandmother, can she find beauty in a Christmas that’s anything but perfect?
Filled with friendship, crafty adventures, and holiday mischief, Snowflakes and Secrets celebrates the love behind a handmade gift—and the wonderful things that can happen when we leave room for mistakes.
