The Great Elephant Chase Summary

The Great Elephant Chase by Gillian Cross

A giant Indian elephant. A wild journey across America. An enemy who will never stop. Tad and Cissie are on the run with Khush the elephant. Clammy-fingered, steely-eyed Hannibal Jackson will do anything to capture the animal. Maybe even kill . . . Staying ahead means being faster and smarter - but how do you hide an elephant? Especially one with a mind of its own...

'A wonderful book . . . the writing is so good that you don't even notice it.' * Sunday Telegraph *
'damn good storytelling' * Bookseller *
'Not only is the book nail-bitingly exciting, it's also concerned with the big questions in life: right behaviour and the ability to endure in the face of greed, cruelty and exploitation.' * Elizabeth Hawksley, Historical Novel Society *
