Books Descriptions
What if? Why not? Could it be?When a fortune teller's tent appears in the market
square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchenne knows the questions
that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The
fortune teller's mysterious answer (an elephant! An elephant will lead you there!)
sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to
believe it's true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a
dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be told by Newbery Medalist Kate
DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes - hope and
belonging, desire and compassion - with the lightness of a magician's touch.
