Description
[Machine Translation] Lizzie lived with her mother and younger brother Carli in the eastern German town of Dresden. Her father was sent to the Russian front and her mother began working as a zookeeper. She heard that the zoo's wild animals would be shot dead if the town was bombed, so to protect her beloved little elephant, Marlene, she decided to take her home to our yard at night and take care of her. One night, while the three family members were chasing after Marlene, who had run away after being frightened by the neighborhood dogs, an air raid alarm sounded and a fierce air raid began. With the burning town at their backs, Lizzie and her family begin to walk with Marlene in search of a safe place to live. But when they arrive at the farm, they find enemy soldiers...? The freezing road, her brother's illness, her love for an enemy soldier, the approaching Soviet army... This is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl, Lizzie, and her family's journey west from eastern Germany with their elephant during the winter of the war. This is a moving story by Michael Morpurgo, an award-winning children's author and Britain's third "Lauriette for Children" (a title awarded to outstanding writers of children's books). For upper elementary school students and up.
