The Elephant in the Room

Great book

This was such a great book! I would recommend this feel good book. This is a must read for everyone, even adults!

It was a tad shallow and a bit unbelievable but the heart behind the story was well worth the read. Definitely needs to be a sequel.

This is the PERFECT book for a young girl age 9 - 15. It has a strong female protagonist that struggles with issues anyone can relate to. Very up-to-date current events, issues every girl should read about and learn from, and the perfect 'read with a friend/parent' book. I absolutely LOVED the book and would recommend it to everyone, young and old!

Excellent read for students grade 6-8.

This children’s book should be read by all adults to help remember what we are and what matters. Also, to motivate us to live with more courage and purpose.

I have read all of the books by this author and this is definetly one of my favorites. I love that the way in which the characters come together and are able to help each other. The way it unfolds is rich and well thought out. There are many layers among the characters and they all learn about the many ways that one thing affects another and ways that they as individuals can make a difference. In addidtion I love that the ideas of caring for an animal was discussed, taken seriously and planned for the lifespan of the animal.

Wonderful read, but the audiobook voicing of Gio is annoyingly soft, even when he should be shouting or excited. A true disappointment in an otherwise wonderful reading of an enjoyable and touching story.

This book is so meaningful.Such books are so important when it comes to animal protection and how to properly take care of them.I find this middle story so unique and inspirational. I do hope I get to read more of such books. We tend to take animals for granted, misuse them for labour and selfish reasons.This read made me so emotional when it ended. I was thinking really hard of what we have done knowingly or unknowingly that is harming the lives around us.This is the story of a girl whose mother has to go to Turkey for a few days to secure her immigration papers. However, days turned to weeks. Weeks turned to months. It was making Sila really worried and she couldn’t focus on anything else. However, her father decides to take her to a place to fix things for an elderly man. There she meets a grandfatherly figure and an unexpected chain of events that leads to the rescue of a circus elephant!How crazy is that! And yes, it is such an adventure filled reading experience. One moment I was so sorry for the little girl, her clueless father, the old man who’s lost for what to do next with the lottery prize he recently won but you know this is one of those books which give you enough hope and inspiration on what to do next when you are lost in a similar situation.I love this book so much! So worth it.

It was a present. My nice loved it!!!!!!
