review 1: Haunting, thought-provoking novel allowing insights into the gruesome world of child soldiers in war-torn African countries. It is also the touching and heart-warming tale of a special relationship between a young boy and a wild elephant. Not only was I hooked by the gripping story but also appreciated all the learning that came along with reading this novel. It definitely sparked my interest in reading more about elephants, Koni's child soldiers as well as seeking out other novels by the author.
review 2: This is an amazing book that'd i'd encourage everyone to read, and have been massively recommending it too. As far as in concerned any book that opens up peoples minds and takes them to places and situations they knew nothing to little about is a winner, and ... morethis does exactly that. When you read it you are transported into that world, where life isnt easy like we have it here and at times horrendous things happen to good people. I dont think its any good recommending away from books like this, as quite simply, it's life. People should be aware of this stuff. It envokes tears and giggles and sometimes a mixture. Perfect for fans of Gill Lewis and Morpurgo. Brilliant and touching. less
