Sara-Kate's clothes don't match, her hair's a mess, and she's known to spit at people when they make her mad. But when Sara-Kate shows Hillary the tiny elf village in her overgrown backyard, Hillary decides she can't be as awful as all that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHillary is amazed by the delicate houses, the miniature well, even an intricate Ferris wheel made of bicycle wheels and popsicle sticks. But the more time she spends in Sara-Kate's yard, the more questions she has. How come they never go inside Sara-Kate's house? Why is Sara-Kate sometimes missing from school? And why hasn't Hillary ever seen Sara-Kate's mom? If Hillary can just look deep enough, she hopes, she will uncover the secrets of the elves--and of her new friend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481499095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e353 \/ Afternoon of the Elves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Janet Taylor Lisle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36653105414300,"sku":"9781481499095","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2afe5c4b-9fab-40e1-be04-fd5a936cfa26.jpg?v=1603881065","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/afternoon-of-the-elves-9781481499095","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
