This story centres around the journey of a girl called Erica and her pet elephant. She has only one relative and that is her Uncle Jeff, who is always on holiday. He has given her lots of money, but over time it has gone and now Erica only has £30.42. She thinks very practically and worries that she will not have enough money to buy cabbage in order to feed the elephant.
Erica’s Elephant is full of twists and turns, which makes it an amazing book. I think it is good for children aged 7-10 years old. I was fascinated by the characters and the unusual relationships in the book. I was excited to see how it would all come together in the end.
