Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hillary doesn't believe all the mean things she hears about Sara-Kate. Sure, she wears weird clothes and she lives in a dumpy house, but if Sara-Kate's as bad as everyone says, how could she take such good care of the elf village in her backyard? She and Hillary spend hours fixing the tiny stick houses and the miniature Ferris wheel so the elves won't move away. But as Hillary is drawn further into Sara-Kate's world, she learns there are other mysteries besides the elves. Why doesn't anyone ever see Sara-Kate's mother? And why isn't anyone allowed in her house?Afternoon of the Elves is a children's novel by Janet Taylor Lisle, about unlikely friendship, class differences, the power (and limits) of imagination and ingenuity in the face of poverty, and finding magic in the most unexpected of places (and people). It was a Newbery Medal Honor Book in 1990. Given that the plot pivots on a major twist, expect lots of spoiler text below.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Bittersweet Ending: Are Sara-Kate and her mother better off now, even separated and reliant on charity? Hopefully. Could Sara-Kate have held things together forever? No, and she shouldn't have to at her age. But her devastation at the upheaval of their life together is still heartbreaking. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
| Afternoon of the Elves / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: Was Sara-Kate just lying about the elves the whole time? Despite all the evidence in support of this conclusion, the finale still leaves you with a whisper of doubt. Maybe, just maybe... | |

Consummate Liar: Although she is extremely clever and smooth for her age when deceiving adults, and can come up with a convincing lie so swiftly that even Hillary is impressed, Sara-Kate is still just a child and is unable to deflect outside attention from her strange family situation forever. | |

The Artful Dodger: Sara-Kate fancies herself to be a bit of this trope. It backfires in the end. | |
