Thirteen year old Lauren Parker is bracing herself for a really grim holiday. Her mother has remarried and has dragged her halfway around the globe to an unfamiliar country where she is adjusting to a new stepfather and an irritating little stepbrother. Could things get any worse? Of course they could! On Christmas Eve two Nelfs (Santa's helpers) jump off the big man's sleigh, through Lauren's roof, and into her life.

Three foot tall, grumpy and over two hundred years old—Horace is the world's greatest mischief maker. His elder sister, 271 year old Tina, is an incurable romantic who loves to meddle and give advice. When they fall into Lauren's life, she discovers she is the only person who can see them. How will she keep the existence of her two bizarre house guests secret, without her family and friends thinking she's going crazy?
