Description
A sparkling white winterfrost has arrived, bringing with it a magical world of wonder. For Bettina, Christmas is a time for tradition and family, but when her parents are called away unexpectedly, she finds herself in charge of the house and baby Pia. As she struggles to keep up with the demands of caring for her little sister, Bettina neglects a special custom - leaving out food for the tiny nisse. But when baby Pia disappears, the magic of the nisse makes itself known, and Bettina must venture into their miniature world to find her sister and set things right. In this enchanting tale, Michelle Houts weaves together folklore and fantasy to create a story that is both rich in tradition and full of a child's sense of wonder.
