The Magician’s Elephant

SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY

The Magician's Elephant

By Kate DiCamillo About · Illustrated by Yoko Tanaka

‘Magic is always impossible’, said the magician. ‘It begins with the impossible and ends with the impossible and is impossible in between. That is why it is magic’. What it? Why not? Could it be? When a fortune-teller’s tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchenne knows the questions that he must ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortune-teller’s mysterious answer (An elephant! An elephant will lead you there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it is true.

Kate DiCamillo

It’s a pipe dream of many an aspiring author: publish your debut novel, claim a spot on the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list, and rack up an astonishing array of awards, including a Newbery Honor. For Kate DiCamillo it was a dream-come true – and nobody could have been more surprised than she was. “After the Newbery committee called me, I spent the whole day walking into walls. Literally,” she says. “I was stunned. And very, very happy.” And it gets better: just three years later, Kate DiCamillo would receive another, even more stunning call from the Newbery committee.
