The Magician's Elephant reviewed by Baxter ( age 7)

This is a great book for ages 7 and up.  I really liked it because it was dramatic.  This story is about a young boy who lives with his dead father's friend.  Peter is training to be a soldier.   He went to an oracle to see if his sister is alive.  The oracle tells him an elephant will lead him to his sister.  He finds out that an elephant dropped through the ceiling of the opera house.   Peter finds the elephant at the Countess's mansion, and meets the magician who conjured it.   Peter finds Adele, his missing sister, and the magician magics the elephant back to its home.
