James Patterson and award-winning author Ellen Banda-Aaku deliver an unforgettable story of a girl, an elephant, and their life-changing friendship. 
 
Clever, sensitive Jama likes elephants better than people. While her classmates gossip—especially about the new boy, Leku—twelve-year-old Jama takes refuge at the watering hole outside her village. There she befriends a baby elephant she names Mbegu, Swahili for seed. 
 
When Mbegu’s mother, frightened by poachers, stampedes, Jama and Mbegu are blamed for two deaths—one elephant and one human. Now Leku, whose mysterious and imposing father is head ranger at the conservancy, may be their only lifeline.    
 
Inspired by true events,
The Elephant Girl is a moving exploration of the bonds between creatures and the power of belonging. 

"Patterson and Banda-Aaku's well-developed, vividly set story is thoroughly grounded in Jama's bravery, moral strength, and genuine love for the animals that share her home."--Publishers Weekly

"Emotionally thrilling and richly satisfying." --
Kirkus
