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.
