What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this book in the mid-90s in elementary school. The main character is a girl that befriends another girl that moves in next door.

Eventually the MC learns that the girl lives in the house next door alone and that she has all the appliances, stove etc, in the middle of the room in a circle and uses them to heat the room/house and the girl sleeps in the middle of the circle to stay warm in the winter.

Afternoon of the Elves by Janet Taylor Lisle?

Yes! That's it, thank you!

Glad you found your book, Jordan. Link for Becca's find - Afternoon of the Elves by Janet Taylor Lisle.
