Description

When a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (An elephant An elephant will lead him there ) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that Peter can hardly dare to believe it. But it is--all of it--true.
