  • Eldon, The Spectacular Elf

    Annette Bailey Williamson, GranaAnna, Sydney Smith

    language (GranaAnna, Nov. 14, 2013)
    Big and bumbling, young Eldon is no ordinary elf. Other elves tease him for his clumsiness. An overworked Grandfather Christmas suggests that Eldon go out and find his Lifeā€™s Work. In a snowstorm Eldon rescues eight young reindeer, lost and separated from their herd. He protects them from the Dogs of Winter, saves them from freezing and starvation, then searches unsuccessfully for their family. Living among them a year and furnishing their needs, Eldon becomes a woodcarver. What does he do with this talent? How will it affect his new friends, the now growing reindeer? Has Eldon forgotten the search for his Lifeā€™s Work? Has he forgotten the family he left behind? And the weary Grandfather Christmasā€” What lies ahead for him? The answers, thanks to what Eldon has learned from the reindeer, are trulyā€”wellā€”spectacular. This is the first book of the Eldon series.
