Annotation:
When Peter discovers the fortune tellers tent in the middle of the city, he seeks the answer to the deepest question of his heart. Does his sister still live? The fortune teller's answer to Peter: "Follow the elephant" is just as confusing to Peter as all of the years of uncertainty have been. But the unforgettable chain of events that follows the answer sets up a magical trail that leads a child on the trail of answers.
Book Talk:
"What if?"
What if...you could find a sister you thought had died when she was born?
What if...you could make an elephant appear out of nowhere and crash through the ceiling of the opera house.
What if...the elephant holds the answers to the deepest questions of your heart?
What if...you believe in yourself enough to change the world?
What if...you find out that what you thought was true was actually a lie?
For, how will the world change if we do not question it?
