Cute story about elves and tradition in Denmark. Bettina’s parents have an emergency and must leave on Christmas eve. Bettina is left in charge of all the animals, the farm and her baby sister. It seems to be going well until her sister vanishes from the front porch. It is a great adventure as Bettina searches for clues to where her sister has been taken. Follow how she finds her and gets her back and sets tradition right. Great read.

Thanks for this review. My husband’s family tree is from Denmark. This would be a great story to add to our collection to pass down to our children and grandchildren. I haven’t heard of this book before and without your review I would have missed it.
