Kate DiCamillo's New York Times best-selling fable about trusting
the unexpected and making the extraordinary come true is now available
in a movie tie-in edition.
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 it's true. With atmospheric
illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, this timeless fable from Kate
DiCamillo evokes the largest of themes--hope and belonging, desire and
compassion--with the lightness of a magician's touch.
