I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It's my favorite kind of story, uplifting, feel-good and a great story that touches on some difficult things and addresses the transitioning as you're growing up and learning things for yourself. This story reminds me of other stories I love and enjoy like Because of Winn Dixie and quite a bit about Bridge of Terabithia especially similar with the dynamics/friendship between the kids - Lex and Fisher and as Lex branches out and learns to put herself out there and get new friends also.
This story is about Lex and her journey of self-discovery and learning about herself, her past and her background. She was found alone with an elephant protecting her and then one of the Zoo employees - the Zoo train conductor, Roger, took her in to care for and raise her. During this summer, Lex and Fisher - best friends go on an adventure together to solve the mystery connected to Lex and her origins, where she came from, what happened when she was left, what her connection to Nyah, the elephant in the Zoo is, who protected her from the tornado she was in as a baby/small child.
As they go along on their adventure during the summer, both Lex and Fisher grow, learn and change each in different ways and also similar ways. They grow together and individually as Fisher goes off by himself to do his own thing with baseball for the summer that he wants to do and Lex does her own thing with the Zoo and figuring out more about herself.
They meet, find out and learn things about Lex and everything through ghosts, clues, the elephant, Nyah and lots of other things as well. This is really a story about individual growth and growing up while also having a fun, memorable summer and about figuring out who you are and what you want, which Lex and Fisher do finally find the answers about Lex, her origins, her past and Lex realizes and decides what she wants and who she is and who her family is too.
This is an extremely heartwarming and loving story that gave me all kinds of warm fuzzies and I love it! It also has some interesting info in the back of the book about elephants if you want to learn more about them too.
If you like books like Bridge of Terabithia or stories with mysteries, adventure and such, then you'll love this story. Make sure to put this one on your list, pre-order and get it because you're not going to want to miss out on this new favorite wonderful story to add to your collection!… (plus d'informations)
