Elephants never forget. That is the whole problem. When Nadia the elephant arrives at Maplewood Zoo, she won't eat. She won't trumpet. She won't say a word, not even at midnight, when the animals can talk and only kids can hear them. The keepers think she has forgotten how to be an elephant. And if she isn't eating by Saturday, she will be sent away again. Kensley Fisher and the Midnight Zoo Club have one week of midnights to figure out what is really wrong. A feast doesn't work. A show doesn't work. Even a pretend herd made of a lion under a tarp doesn't work. Because Nadia's problem isn't forgetting. It's remembering: a sister, a herd, and a morning song that only works with two voices. Meanwhile, a letter from Kensley's old best friend is sitting in her pocket like a stone, full of a new friend named Ava, waiting for an answer Kensley doesn't know how to write. A funny, heartwarming chapter book about missing someone, and about how the people you love don't stop being yours just because they are far away. With 10 full-page illustrations. Perfect for readers 6 to 9, first graders reading ahead, and families who love reading aloud at bedtime. Book 2 of The Midnight Zoo Club.
