Book Review: The Elephant’s Girl

The Elephant's Girl
by Celesta Rimington



Crown Books for Young Readers

Pub Date 19 May 2020


I am reviewing a copy of The Elephant’s Girl through Random House Children’s through Crown Books for Young Readers:


An Elephant does not forget, but Lexington Willow cannot remember what happened before she was swept away when she was a toddler.  The only thing she knows is the Tornado landed her in an enclosure in a Nebraska Zoo and there an elephant named Nyah protected her from the storm.  There was no trace of her birth family so Lex grew up at the Zoo, with Nyah her elephant family, her foster father Roger, and her best friend, Fisher, and the wind whispering in her ear.


At twelve Lexi is finally old enough to help with the Elephants.  During the first training session Nyah sends her a telepathic image of the woods outside the zoo.  Even as the wind protests Lexi decides to look into Nyah’s message and gets wrapped up into an adventure involving ghosts, treasures and a secret that may lead Lexi to the family she lost.  As she begins the search for answers she realizes she must find the courage to leave the area surrounding the Zoo in order to discover who she really is...and why the tornado brought her to the Zoo all the years before.


I give The Elephants Girl five out of five stars!


Happy Reading!
