Rise of the Elves

The Festive and the Furious, Book 3

By: Heide Goody, Iain Grant

Narrated by: Matthew Lloyd Davies

It’s nearly Christmas, and Hedgelord Garden Centre is under new ownership — but something isn’t right. Sinister figures in black have taken over the shop floor, efficiency is at an all-time high, and nobody seems to know exactly who’s in charge or what they’re building in the warehouse.

Charlotte Mitchell would love to get to the bottom of it, but she’s got bigger problems. Thanks to a spectacularly bad decision, she and her longtime rival Jack Hartigan have just destroyed the town’s famous nativity scene — and promptly been sacked.

Now jobless, aimless, and deeply unaccustomed to being on the outside, Charlotte is struggling to accept her new reality. But when one last reckless plan drags her and Jack into a high-stakes undercover mission, they uncover something far worse than corporate restructuring.

With gun-toting gangsters, tooled-up Santas, and wildly inappropriate cracker gifts, Christmas is heading for a disaster of biblical proportions.

Can Charlotte put the pieces back together, uncover the truth, and save Christmas once and for all?
