With their parents unexpectedly called away, Bettina is left in charge of her baby sister. A mischievous nisse steals Pia, and Bettina must use all her courage, wit, and heart to get her sister back. In the process, her sadness over her grandfather's death changes to joy in their shared belief in the small folk. Readers will enjoy this Danish-folklore-inspired Christmastime adventure.
