Out Now. Christmas Under Threat.

Christmas is the most exciting and busiest time of the year. All the elves are hard at work making toys for Father Christmas, and Bodo the Chief Inventor Elf is desperately thinking up new ideas for this year’s special toys. He loves the work, but someone else isn’t quite so happy.

Luka is jealous. He is sure he could invent much better toys than Bodo, so decides Bodo should be out of the way.

Lynne’s Quotes

“Ordinary fortune-tellers tell you what you want to happen; witches tell you what’s going to happen whether you want it to or not. Strangely enough, witches tend to be more accurate but less popular.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
