 NEW FROM KATE DICAMILLO
“Reading this lovely story is like floating inside a dream, where anything is possible. When orphan Peter Augustus Duchene asks a fortuneteller for help in finding a long-lost sister, the fortuneteller says an elephant will lead him to her. In writing this timeless fable that will linger long after you turn the last page, Kate DiCamillo has outdone herself.”
-- Joanne R. Fritz, Chester County Book & Music Company, West Chester, PA
