But things change when Sila accompanies her father (who is a mechanic) outside their Oregon town to fix a truck. There, behind an enormous stone wall, she meets a grandfatherly man who only months before won the state lottery. Their new alliance leads to the rescue of a circus elephant named Veda, and then to a friendship with a unique boy named Mateo, proving that comfort and hope come in the most unlikely of places.\n\nA moving story of family separation and the importance of the connection between animals and humans, this novel has the enormous heart and uplifting humour that readers have come to expect from the beloved author of Counting by 7s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Holly+Goldberg+Sloan\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eHolly Goldberg Sloan\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Holly Goldberg Sloan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378843369635,"sku":"9781800780002","price":170.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781800780002_67ffa6ad-918c-4ee2-8206-ad467370eaa9.jpg?v=1776597695","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781800780002","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
