Over the mountains, through the valleys, and deep into the North Pole lies a secret village. This is where Santa , or Father Christmas , or Nick , he doesn’t mind whatever you to call him as long as there is food involved, lives.

A special package is due to be delivered by a magical stork. It is the greatest gift of all. Santa's friends, Thunder and Gale , are expecting a child, a new addition to the proud reindeer family.

They name him OLF , and he grows to become the strongest, fastest, reindeer the whole of the North Pole has ever seen.

However, OLF has a problem. He is naughty. He is rude, obnoxious, and downlike dislikeable. Even Santa himself doesn’t really like him and has pondered long and hard on how to put him on the Naughty List!

When his friends play a trick on him, getting him back for everything he has done to them over the years, no one knows it, but a legend is born, one who might just be able to save Christmas …

OLF is a delightful novel for everyone who enjoys the festive season.
