The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo

4.0

the story of young peter in search of his sister, adele. their stories converge on a snowy night thanks to a magician and, yes, his elephant. this is a simple story layered with a heavy dose of wonder and the ability to believe in the unthinkable ("what if?") dicamillo's writing is seemingly simplistic, but laden with truisms. i really loved this book. i felt like i was enveloped in a cloud of awe as i read.
