Book Description
Des (don’t call her Destiny—she hates that name) is an elf with a problem. A jolly, red-suit wearing, gift-bearing, reindeer-loving problem. Turns out, someone has stolen Santa Claus’s magic. And it’s three days before Christmas. What’s an elf to do? Help him out, of course. That’s her specialty, after all. Except that creates a whole new problem: Des has to work closely with the Man in Red while keeping her presents under wraps, because there is definitely one thing she will not do. Ride in Santa’s sleigh tonight.
