Summary
In the medieval village of Lavenham, a mischievous girl named Elspeth teams up with a chaos-loving elf named Figwort to pull increasingly daring pranks on the local townspeople.
Their partnership reaches a tipping point when a massive stunt at the local pig market goes spectacularly wrong, leaving Elspeth to face the consequences alone.
In the aftermath of the disaster, Elspeth must discover if she can transform her reputation for trouble into something more meaningful for her community.
