This is a dear story. Animal lovers will especially like it.
The animals in the story can talk to each other!
Ivan is a silverback gorilla living in the Big Top Mall off
of Exit 18. Since he has been living there since he was a baby gorilla, he is
used to captivity.
Stella, an aging elephant, also lives at the Big Top Mall.
Her memory- being an elephant- is much better than Ivan’s. One of her feet is
infected causing her a great deal of discomfort. She remembers life before
cages.
Mack owns the animals as well as the mall. Times are hard.
Money is scarce. The animals’ care is not the best as a result.
Mack discovers Ivan’s ability to “draw” objects. A money
making idea occurs to him. Frame Ivan’s creations and sell them at the gift
shop.
When Ruby- a baby elephant- is purchased by Mack to create
more interest thus increasing profits, Stella knows how dire the situation is
for Ruby. Her life will never be the same.
George, the custodian for the mall, and his daughter Julia
prove to be “good” humans as the animals soon find out.
Read this dear novel if you enjoy animal stories.
