Why not? Could it be?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (an elephant! An elephant will lead him there!) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it’s true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be narrated by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes — hope and belonging, desire and compassion — with the lightness of a magician’s touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Candlewick, 2009","offers":[{"title":"The Magician's Elephant \/ Very Good","offer_id":50139011809572,"sku":"9780763644109VG","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_ffebe799-701a-4468-b3ff-2f8cae761c0c.jpg?v=1781790127","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780763644109","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
