SMALL AS AN ELEPHANT By: Jennifer Richard JacobsonEver since Jack was little, his mom has bee...unpredictable. Sometimes he is happy and care-free, other times she's moody or depressed. But despite these mood swings, Jack never expected his mom to desert him at some strange campground one night. Now Jack has no money, no phone, and about a three day journey to get to his home in Boston. With only a small toy elephant to keep him company, Jack begins to travel south toward home and toward (he hopes) his mother. Along the way, his strength, his wit, and his loyalties will be tested, as he tries to outrun the police and keep his family intact. Ages 10-14 Candlewick $15.99
