She finds her elephant family much easier to get along with than most people, including her dad’s lawyer girlfriend, Joyce. When a beloved elephant dies giving birth to a newborn, Sam’s world is upended. She knew raising a newborn would be a challenge, but something is very different about this baby. Secrets begin to threaten not only the herd’s peaceful existence at the sanctuary, but even Sam and her dad’s place among the elephants.  (Sunshine State Young Readers Award Books 2019-2020)
