Description
Ten-year-old Peter Augustus Duchenne lives a solitary life in a city where elephants are forbidden, but his world is turned upside down when a fortune-teller reveals his long-lost sister may still be alive. Driven by hope, Peter embarks on a quest to find her, a journey that leads him to a mysterious magician and a magnificent elephant. Together, they navigate a city filled with challenges and unexpected kindness, exploring themes of hope, loss, and the enduring power of love. This poignant tale, told with DiCamillo's signature blend of whimsy and heart, reminds us that even in the darkest of times, a single act of courage can lead to extraordinary discoveries.
