This story about a young girl who believes an elephant is rightfully hers is well worth reading.
Exciting and fun chase across

My family read this aloud and the kids (8-11 yrs) loved it. Certainly it is hard to believe that the two young protagonists could have pulled off their journey with the elephant, but isn't that half the fun? The adults trying to obtain the elephant are necessarily evil and the kids both have pluck and luck. A sleeper belonging on every child's bookshelf. Older readers who enjoy the elephant aspect may want to read "Tusk and Stone" by Malcolm Bosse.
