Wigglesworth in Lutinland

When Wigglesworth, a stealth elf, exits Santa’s sleigh before he is signaled to, he lands in Quebec City—the heart of Lutinland. A wisecracking elf with a finely woven tapestry of sarcasm, he finds humility when he loses his linguistic personality. With the help of his new friends, Paul la Poule, a hippie chicken who detests his nickname “Paula,” and Estelle, his gorgeous Christmas angel mentor, Wigglesworth embarks on the unexpected and joyful journey of becoming bilingual. Despite awkward moments, Wigglesworth learns the value of mistakes. He falls in love with his new city and his new family. The adventurous story of Wigglesworth has an interactive component, complete with Elf School homework, surprisingly fun French verb conjugation, and tasty North Pole recipes. Wigglesworth in Lutinland promotes bilingualism while also allowing readers to explore the rich heritage of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and the UNESCO Literary City, that is Ville de Quebec.
