ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Lizzie and Karl’s mother is a zoo keeper; the family has become attached to an orphaned elephant named Mariene, who will be destroyed as a precautionary measure so she and the other animals don’t run wild should the zoo be hit by bombs. The family persuades the zoo director to let Mariene stay in their garden instead. When the city is bombed, the family flees with thousands of others, but how can they walk the same route when they have an elephant in tow, and keep themselves safe? Along the way, they meet Peter, a Canadian navigator who risks his own capture to save the family.

“Personally, I think that the most important thing is that my child ENJOYS attending class. The stories taught in class are a break from the norm as they have INTERESTING twists in them. I appreciate that the teachers give constant feedback regarding my child’s progress and behavior in class.”
