Book Blurb

Peter Augustus is an ordinary boy in an ordinary town. But one day, something extraordinary happens to him. When Vilna Lutz, (his guardian and a retired soldier) sends him to town to get some small fish and stale bread for his soldier training, Peter sees a fortune teller. Peter was seperated with his sister at birth and was told she was a stillborn. So Peter uses all the money to ask if his sister is alive and how he can get to her. The fortune teller says that she is alive and an elephant will show her to her. An elephant? Ha, Peter thinks. There's not an elephant within miles of the place. But one day an elephant crashes through a roof by a magician who only intended lillies. Will Peter follow the elephant to his sister or will the elephant lead him to nothing? Will he even follow the elephant?
