(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old Hastin must endure the cruelty of his employer, a circus owner. Kelly crafts a layered, convincing tale of interspecies friendship as Hastin comes to understand his charge, Nandita, an elephant calf. A kind older man proves an ally in Hastin's quest to protect Nandita, but it is the bond between boy and elephant that will stick in readers' minds.
