10-year-old Peter, an orphan, is supposed to go to the market to buy fish. Instead he goes to a fortune telller Follow the elephant, she will lead you to your sister; except that there are no elephants in the town of Baltese. However, a magican's trick goes awry and an elephant falls through the roof at the Opera House. It's so unbelievable and yet DiCamillo makes it believable. With rich language, it also deals with issues such as loss of loved ones and physical disability. Story lines coming together make it very fable ike. Great read aloud.
