A CIRCLE OF ELEPHANTS - Eric Dinerstein - Hardcover

From the author of What Elephants Know, a 2017 ALA Notable Children's Book and
winner of the 2017 South Asia Book Award for Children's and Young Adult
Literature, comes this stunning companion novel about the complex relationship
between people and nature coexisting in the Borderlands of 1970s Nepal.

Thirteen-year-old Nandu lives in the newly established Royal Elephant Breeding
Center on the edge of the jungle. Here, the King's elephants are to be raised
under the protective watch of the stable. Nandu-along with his adoptive father
Subba-sahib, his mentors, friends, and the rest of the elephant drivers-is
tested by man and nature as earthquakes, drought, wild herds, and rumors of
poachers threaten the Center.

When Nandu's world is thrown into turmoil, so, too, is the world of Hira Prasad,
the Center's powerful bull elephant. An unbreakable bond of brotherhood drives
Nandu and Hira Prasad together as they struggle to maintain the delicate natural
order of life in the Borderlands.

Dinerstein's poetic prose and scientific expertise come together in this
breathtaking tale that transports the reader to the center of dangerous
conflicts and heartbreaking friendships. [Hardcover | 22 cm x 15 cm x 4 cm | 431
