Sonata #1 for Riley Red

(4) 4-6 Thirteen-year-old Rachel is befriended by classmate Desmona and her older brother, Riley, two free spirits in early 1960s Cambridge, Massachusetts. Enlisting a small group of idealistic misfits, they liberate a neglected elephant from an area zoo in an adventure that helps Rachel confront her own problems. The meandering plot strains credibility, but the offbeat characters are often compelling.
