At the Elves’ Workshop

International Elf Service

It’s December 1st and the most exciting Christmas countdown has begun! George and Matilda are visiting Granny for a festive treat of hot chocolate and marshmallows – a favourite family tradition under the twinkling Christmas Tree when they open the first door on their Advent Calendar. But things don’t quite go according to plan … just as they snuggle on the sofa together under a cosy blanket with a slice of warm gingerbread each, a great big whooshing sound comes out of the fireplace and the air is suddenly filled with funny-looking envelopes, magical sparkles and a delicious smell of cinnamon! A bundle of extra-special and beautifully illustrated letters from the North Pole Elves has arrived via the Magical Wind Machine of International Elf Service. 
Bursting with excitement, they read them aloud, one by one, hearing incredible stories from Elfie and friends, as well as Father and Mother Christmas, as they all prepare for The Big Delivery on Christmas Eve. 
Every letter is jam-packed with the latest secrets from the North Pole - a hilarious adventure full of crazy inventions and pranks, muddles and mishaps, LOTS of candy and some very important Emergency Pyjama Meetings, all wrapped up with a huge amount of Christmas Magic.  
Young listeners will be completely captivated by the daily updates from Elfie (North Pole Scribe) as well as some wacky and wonderful news from the other Elves – Marty (Inventions Elf), Jenny (North Pole Gardener), Lily (Chief Organising Elf), Dani (Repairs Elf), Stan (Chief Mining Elf), Dave the Stitch (Uniform Upgrades Elf) and Bubbles (Laundry Elf). 
This year, they discover that Father Christmas has organised a Magical Winter Sports Day (complete with magical prizes), Marty has the dreaded North Pole Pox (or does he?), Dani tries to fix an urgent problem with The Sleigh’s Compass, and some very unusual Glittery Shimmers appear in the Cinnamon Mine. It’s definitely going to be the best Christmas ever!

He Fights for You

Gayatri kumari

in the tranquil village of Eldenwood, life is simple and serene. Among its humble residents is Kael, a young blacksmith with an unassuming demeanor but a burgeoning inner strength. Kael's days are spent forging tools and weapons, yet his heart beats with the thrill of adventure. Drawn to the nearby woods, he begins to uncover his hidden talents—exceptional strength and agility that set him apart. In the solitude of the forest, Kael trains relentlessly, mastering his newfound abilities and growing into his potential. His self-discovery journey is abruptly interrupted when a marauding band of bandits descends upon Eldenwood, seeking to plunder its modest wealth and terrorize its people. Fear grips the villagers, and hope seems distant. But Kael is not one to stand by. Clad in a suit of armor he forged with his own hands, and wielding a sword that gleams with his determination, he steps forward to confront the threat. In a display of courage and skill, Kael single-handedly vanquishes the bandits, his movements a blur of precision and power. As the dust settles, the villagers emerge from their hiding places, their fear replaced by awe and gratitude. Kael's heroism transforms him from a simple blacksmith to the village's guardian, a beacon of hope in their darkest hour. His journey has only begun, and the legend of Kael, the hero of Eldenwood, begins to spread.

Loki - A Bad God's Guide to...

Louie Stowell

When Thor's hammer goes missing, trickster god Loki, still trapped as a cranky eleven-year-old boy, is determined to prove he's innocent (for once!). The hilarious series continues in this second volume. 
 
 
 
Norse god Loki records the highs and lows of living on Earth as an eleven-year-old in grumbles, snarks, and doodles in his enchanted diary. He might not have shown any moral improvement (yet), but Odin has given Loki another chance to prove himself worthy of Asgard. Earning everyone's trust isn't easy, however. So far, Loki has managed to make only one human friend, Valerie, but is now irritated to learn that Valerie has made another friend, Georgina. Then, at Thor's birthday party (a pointless mortal ritual, though luckily there is cake), the magical hammer Mjolnir is stolen—and everyone suspects Loki! Can Loki find Thor's hammer, discover who the real thief is, and clear his name—or will his jealousy over Valerie's new friend cloud his judgment? From dangerous Frost Giants to disappointing parent-teacher conferences, Loki's riotously funny adventures continue.
