In a highly awaited new novel, Kate DiCamillo conjures a haunting fable about trusting the unexpected -- and making the extraordinary come true. (Ages 7 and up)

What if? Why not? Could it be?

When a fortuneteller's tent appears in the market square of the city of Baltese, orphan Peter Augustus Duchene knows the questions that he needs to ask: Does his sister still live? And if so, how can he find her? The fortuneteller's mysterious answer (an elephant An elephant will lead him there ) sets off a chain of events so remarkable, so impossible, that you will hardly dare to believe it's true. With atmospheric illustrations by fine artist Yoko Tanaka, here is a dreamlike and captivating tale that could only be narrated by Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo. In this timeless fable, she evokes the largest of themes -- hope and belonging, desire and compassion -- with the lightness of a magician's touch.

Excellent commentary! Well documented!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Michael Heiser can be trusted to provide clear explanations of the text, the context and some of the various opposing schools of thought concerning a host of Biblical issues. He provides excellent resources and asks questions to help the seeker to understand what Scripture REALLY says. Careful! Some of your denominational doctrines may need to be re-examined. But if that’s the case, isn’t “now” a better time than later? Be blessed on your journey 🙏

Okay
Format: Paperback
I was hoping for a modern day translation of the book of Enoch. This helps to understand it but still not an easy read for the average person.
