But, when almost all his food is gone and his phone is dead, how can he contact his mom? With the help of friends along the way, Jack travels from city to city to city. In one city he stops at a bar where he gets the information that his Mom was heading out to the Bahamas with some guy in a boat! Soon there are missing kid signs and Jack knows he has to hide or the police will take him away from his mom! Will Jack get caught? Will he ever see his mom again? Find out in Small as a Elephant.
Opinion:
I really liked Small as an Elephant. I thought it had a great and fast moving plot with suspenseful moments. I really liked how, at the beginning of every chapter, the author would put a small story or riddle about elephants. The author had great wording such as "The lower rooms in the fort were darker and cooler, and water dripped down some of the walls." So, if you're looking for a good story, just read small as an elephant.
