A spellbinding fable of hope, belonging, and the impossible from Kate DiCamillo, the two-time Newbery Medalist and former US National Ambassador for Children's Literature.
When a fortune-teller’s tent mysteriously appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, young orphan Peter Augustus Duchene is driven by a single, desperate question: Does his sister still live? The fortune-teller’s cryptic reply—that an elephant will lead him to her—sets in motion a chain of events so remarkable they defy belief.
What follows is a dreamlike and captivating journey that explores the largest of themes—desire, compassion, and the enduring power of hope—all told with the "lightness of a magician’s touch." Accompanied by the atmospheric and fine-art illustrations of Yoko Tanaka, this timeless tale proves that even the most impossible things can become true.
