Perseverance submitted by Michelle Boose on June 29, 2011, 9:28am A young boy is separated from his sister when his parents die. He finds truth from a fortuneteller and goes on a quest to find his sister who he first believed died at birth. A magician conjures up an elephant; an old soldier provides adversity; a police officer gives hope; and a child lives out a dream. There are some dark moments but otherwise very uplifting story. Age recommendation would be 9 and up.

Love, Hope, and More submitted by sandy_jain on June 15, 2012, 8:01pm The Magician's Elephant is a book about hope, love, courage, and more. Peter must find his sister. But how? An elephant! What? Read this book to see if Peter suceeds.
