Based on a true story, this poignant tale of Bram, the son of an elephant trainer, and Modoc, an elephant, chronicles their lifelong friendship through shipwreck, fire, and the cruelties of a circus owner who tries to separate them. Watercolor paintings, awash in golden light and achingly real emotion, tug at the heart while plot twists make this a sure page-turner. (ages 6 and up)
The March 2006 issue of Child magazine
