A review by melodierhae
The Elephant's Girl by Celesta Rimington
5.0
The storytelling and heart of Katherine Applegate and Sarah Pennypacker. I can’t wait to share this lovely book.
Lexington Willow lives an unusual life- under the care of a zoo engineer, she lives on the property. But her life has always been unusual- seven years ago, she was found in the elephant habitat after a devastating tornado. This summer has an air of change, and the wind that spoke to Lex her whole life, will push her to explore the mysteries of her world.
Rimington clearly put immense care into writing this book. Her passion for ethical zookeeping and animal rights is seamlessly blended with pure magic and supernatural elements. The additional plot lines surrounding bullying and Fisher were beautifully complex and demonstrative of real-world friendships. There’s so much I could say about this fabulous book- it’s all good and I can’t wait to share with middle grade readers of all ages!
