Review
All Elves love the polka, and this group are headed for the regional final of the Battle of the Bands.
When Emo visits the shop selling accordions, and the owner shows him a secret room containing an electric guitar called the Elfender Spellcaster, the guitar implores him to play rock. But could they dare play rock instead of the polka?
When Great Nanna elf shows Emo a video of Elvish Paisley (with the crowd going wild!), Emo realises that elves were not always limited to just performing the polka…
Can they find the courage to follow their heart? And will they woo the crowd or be booed off stage?
This is a fun-filled Australian graphic novel full of puns, with themes of family, friendship and being yourself, that will be enjoyed by readers aged 8 to 12.
