Synopsis
Kate DiCamillo's fable about a an orphaned boy in search of his sister is filled with mystery, adventure, and a glowing, irrepressible hope. On an errand for the soldier who is his guardian, Peter sees a red fortune teller's tent and can't resist spending his only coin on finding out just one thing: if his sister is still alive. The answer is odd: apparently an elephant is the key! Bewildered, Peter soon finds himself having the most amazing experience of his life. With haunting illustrations by Yoko Tanaka.

When ten-year-old orphan Peter Augustus Duchene encounters a fortune teller in the marketplace one day and she tells him that his sister, who is presumed dead, is in fact alive, he embarks on a remarkable series of adventures as he desperately tries to find her.

Industry Reviews
"Reading like a fable told long ago, with rich language that begs to be read aloud, this is a magical story about hope and love, loss and home, and of questions the world versus accepting it as it is."
(08/01/2009)

"The mannered prose and Tanaka's delicate, darkly hued paintings give the story a somber and old-fashioned feel. The absurdist elements--street vendors peddle chunks of the now-infamous opera house ceiling with the cry 'Possess the plaster of disaster!'--leaven the overall seriousness, and there is a happy if predictable ending for the eccentric cast of anguished characters, each finding something to make them whole."
(08/17/2009)

"With its rhythmic sentences and fairy-tale tone, this novel yields solitary pleasures but begs to be read aloud. Hearing it in a shared space can connect us, one to one, regardless of age..."
