Tad and Cissie are running from what seems like two cons in The Great American Elephant chase by Gillian Cross. The catch is, this chase all started because on an elephant.

     Tad, a fifteen-year-old who never does anything right, helps a younger girl, Cissie, cross from Markle, a small town in pennsylvania, to Nebraska, while being chased by villains who claim the elephant to be theirs. The endure many points of almost getting caught., but they manage to escape with enough time to get away.

     “He is my elephant! He’s all I have in the whole wide world,” Cissie said earnestly, explaining her whole reason for running from the villains This was my favorite part because you get to see Cissie’s feelings for Khush, the elephant.

     I would give this book a ten out of ten. You will love this at any age. I believe anyone can enjoy this book as much as I do.
