Impish the Elf: Confection Perfection

By Amanda McIlwain Hauser

Impish is Santa’s #1 gift-wrapping elf, but she has giant antics up her tricky elf sleeve. What began as a ploy to brighten the long, dark winters at the North Pole, developed into a grand gift-wrapping tradition. Impish replaces conventional name tags with thematic clues-of-the-year, and when, on Christmas morning, children wake to find her carefully crafted clues in their stockings, the fun begins. In the third book in the series, Lil’ Impish is struck with a case of creator’s block and searches for a taste of genius in the large candy kitchens tucked deep below the North Pole. It is there she finds an unlikely friend and some very sweet inspiration. This Christmas, get ready to open more than gifts under the tree... unwrap a really BIG treat!
