Violet Barnaby searches for the joy in life after losing her mother in this sweet and funny follow-up to The Charming Life of Izzy Malone.
Violet Barnaby is a having a blue Christmas. Sheâs still grieving the loss of her mother, and to make things worse, her dad has just married Melanie Harmer, a.k.a. the meanest teacher at Dandelion Hollow Middle School. But on the day Violet and her dad are packing up and moving into the new house theyâll share with Melanie and Melanieâs two children, Violet finds a letter her mother wrote to her before she died, asking Violet to enjoy Christmas, along with a Christmas Wish Listâthings her mom wants her to do during the holiday season. On the list are exactly the kinds of things Violet doesnât want to do this year, like Be Someoneâs Secret Santa; Give Someone the Gift of Your Time: Volunteer; and Bake Christmas Cookies.
Violet shows the letter to her friend Izzyâs Aunt Mildred, who calls a meeting of the Charm Girls, a club Izzy and Violet belong to along with their friends, Daisy and Sophia. Aunt Mildred decides she will give them each a charm to put on their bracelet if they do all of the tasks on the Christmas Wish List, which Violet is not too happy about. Sheâd rather forget about the list completely, but feels compelled to honor her motherâs wishes.
And when Izzyâs crush confides a big secret to Violet, Violet feels like she is stuck between her best friend and the boy who she just might have a crush on, tooâ¦
