"I believe in Jack and his ability to understand his mother in shades of gray. I believe in his ability to be fiercely independent: to try and try and try . . . and at the same time to recognize that he needs others. That others are right there, waiting to catch him." - Jennifer Richard Jacobson - Quote, Jack's journey to a new kind of family is inspiring and never sappy Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Jack comes to realize that he hadn't been alone, that family and people he didn't even know were there for him in a imakeshift herd.' The happy yet realistic ending leaves Jack (and readers) ilight-headed with hope.' Horn Book Jennifer Richard Jacobson's nuanced and heart-wrenching middle-grade novel, Small as an Elephant , gives a quiet force to one resilient boy and his mentally ill mother. Bookpage A classic journey story, this is a very believable and exciting adventure with modern accoutrements. Library Media Connection A near-perfect mix of poignancy, humor, and masterful writing make for an unforgettable journey. Midwest Book Review

Synopsis
"A deeply perceptive look at the universal fear of abandonment." -- Booklist (starred review) Ever since Jack can remember, his mom has been unpredictable, sometimes loving and fun, other times caught in a whirlwind of energy and "spinning" wildly until it's over. But now she is gone, leaving him all alone on a campsite in Maine. Can he find his way back to Boston before the authorities realize what happened? With nothing but a small toy elephant to keep him company, Jack begins a journey that will test his wits and his loyalties -- and his trust that he may be part of a larger herd after all.

    Excellent prices on used books in great condition. Shipped out quickly. Product condition is accurate to rating in listing. Thanks! NOTE: For this particular book (I ordered several), it came in a soft cover rather than hard cover as the listing stated. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly. They agreed that it was a listing error and provided me with a full refund for this book (without return required) proving they are both a responsible and trustworthy seller.
