A quiet act of kindness. A snowy town square. And a secret someone doesn’t want discovered.
Winter break has arrived in Maplewood, and the town square is buzzing with snow, cocoa, and the annual Winter Warm-Up Drive. Neighbors drop off mittens and scarves while volunteers sort and tag donations for delivery.
For Willa Quinn, it should be the perfect start to the break—until she notices something strange.
A basket of handmade mittens sits on a bench near the donation tables, neatly arranged and signed with a simple note:
For anyone who forgot their gloves. — The Holiday Helper.
Curious and full of questions, Willa teams up with her snack-loving best friend, Toby, and their loyal beagle, Watson. As they pay closer attention, more quiet acts of kindness begin to appear—careful, thoughtful, and clearly placed by someone who wants to help.
No one seems to be causing trouble.
But someone is hiding a secret.
The third book in the Willa Quinn Mysteries is a cozy holiday mystery for readers ages 7–10, set against a snowy town square and filled with friendship, curiosity, and a mystery that unfolds through paying attention.
