Ilvie Little is curious, very brave, and a little elf. But she’s had enough of the land of the elves. It’s sooooo boring! So, she decides to pass through the big elf gate, and explore the world outside. Together with her friends, a cook, and two twinkling animals to keep her company – Sammy, the grumpy dog and Theo, the gluttonous monkey – she’s on a quest to solve an ancient mystery. Before anything can happen, though, they’ll first need to repair an old sailing ship, and in their search for a lost treasure, they have a number of challenges to overcome. Together, the fearless friends navigate every peril in their path. A magical adventure for courageous kids and those who strive to be – a fantastic bravery-boosting book for reading aloud and by yourself. For cook kids from 5-99.
