The Magician's Elephant

DiCamillo, K., & Tanaka, Y. (2009). The Magician's Elephant. Somerville,
Mass.: Candlewick Press.

Peter Augustus Duchene is a ten-year-old orphan living with a soldier that once fought beside Peter's father. When the old soldier, Vilna Lutz, sends Peter into town one day to buy food, Peter spends his coin on receiving an answer from a fortuneteller instead. Peter wants to know if his sister is still alive, and where he can find her. In this haunting fable, you take a journey of trusting the unexpected— and making the extraordinary come true.
