Ylva the Elf is a pointy-eared little chatterbox, the star of a series of traditionally untraditional stories full of reindeer, toys, magic, rubber ducks, giant balloons and a whole lot of tinsel-tastic chaos and fun!
The first story is called “Ylva the Elf and the Tinsel Tastic Sled Zeppelin”, Ylva starts her dream job working at Santa’s factory. She soon discovers that Santa and the reindeer disappeared long ago. Parents are in charge of Christmas gifts, dressing up as Santa. No-one told the elves, who just kept on making new toys. With help from Comet, the last reindeer, Ylva invents a new, airship-powered vehicle: the Sled Zeppelin, along with a plan to bring back the magic of Christmas. But can she manage without Santa, Rudolph and rest of the reindeer? And who is sabotaging her plans?
The story follows Ylva’s journey where she breaks lots of rules, gets into a whole load of trouble, gets fired (twice), re-hires herself, goes on road trip with an ancient reindeer, and gets lost at sea. Oh, by the way – she also manages to save Christmas.
