The long separation is almost impossible for Sila to withstand. 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 an unusual boy named Mateo, proving that comfort and hope come in the most unlikely of places.
A moving story of family separation and the importance of the connection between animals and humans, this novel has the enormous heart and uplifting humor that readers have come to expect from the beloved author of Counting by 7s.

Two compelling friendships: Also crucial to helping Sila get through her difficult time are two different and lovely friendships - one with the retired man who owns the elephant, and the other with an autistic classmate who becomes her partner in caring for the elephant.
The immigration crisis: Sila is coping with being apart from her mother, who is in Turkey having trouble getting immigration paperwork to return to the States. This novel gently presents that current event to middle-grade readers.
Equal pay: The book also touches on the issue of equal pay for women and workers' rights (as Sila's mom's crisis begins when she objects to being paid less than her male coworker).
A favorite author: Holly Goldberg Sloan is a bestselling kid- and teacher-favorite. This novel is very much in keeping with the pleasures of her most popular book, Counting by 7s.
