Sinossi

A thrilling and moving tale about an extraordinary animal caught up in a very human war. Perfect for anyone who loved The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips or The Butterfly Lion… 
It’s 1945. Elizabeth's father is fighting with the German army on the eastern front. Her mother works at Dresden zoo, where her favourite animal is a young elephant named Marlene. When the zoo director tells her the dangerous animals must be shot to prevent them running amok when the town is bombed, Elizabeth's mother moves Marlene into the back garden to save her… and then the bombs start to fall. 
Their home destroyed, Elizabeth and her family must flee the bombed-out city and through the wintery landscape, all the while avoiding the Russian troops who are drawing ever closer. It would be hard enough, without an elephant in tow… 
This adventure-packed bestseller by Michael Morpurgo is a top pick in children's fiction. AN ELEPHANT IN THE GARDEN, a testament to Morpurgo's skill as a Sunday Times bestselling author, is a captivating read for kids and juvenile readers alike. 
For fans of Rosemary Wells (The Christmas Mystery), Anait Semirdzhyan (The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale), Katherine A. Applegate (The Encounter), Charles Santore (The Tale of Peter Rabbit), and S. E. Hinton (S.E. Hinton's The Puppy Sister #0).
