of Kate DiCamillo (Goodreads Author), Yoko Tanaka (Illustrator)
Description
In a highly awaited new novel, Kate DiCamillo conjures a haunting fable about trusting the unexpected â and making the extraordinary come true.What if? Why not? Could it be?When a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (an elephant! An elephant will lead him there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe itâs true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be narrated by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes â hope and belonging, desire and compassion â with the lightness of a magicianâs touch.
