About the Book
Growing up isn’t easy. Skat is a young light-elf of cheery good will. Too bad he doesn’t have good sense as well. His first day out from under his mother’s watchful eye, he falls in love with every girl he meets. Skat then vows to win Odin’s pardon for light-elves he had wrongly banished from Asgard. Skat infuriates Princess Violet by giving her roses to another girl. The brat whips up a whirlwind of bad fortune to punish him. In just one day every living creature on Rose Island is sucked into their controversy. Gerd loves Skat in spite of his fickle ways. This elfin girl displays loyalty tempered with common sense, presenting a dependable role model for girls. Skat effectively stands up for himself, overcomes adversity with good will, and succeeds in his quest. Animals, light-elves, a troll, Vikings, and gods respond to Skat’s message that all living creatures should be treated nicely. Only a few completely selfish creatures remain untouched by his charm.Growing up isn’t easy. Skatrosenknup the Darling Rosebud—“Skat” to his friends—is a young light-elf of cheery good will.
