What a delightful story.
Lily's grandparents and mom work in a circus. Her dad works at a campground. Lily struggles at times with anxiety and with feelings of abandonment - especially regarding her mother who left when she was 3. But, she loves her grandfather even if he keeps trying to get her to connect with his elephant Queenie Grace. When her grandfather dies suddenly Lily struggles to comes to terms with it and to find a way to help Queenie Grace through it as well.
The book is told in alternating chapters from Lily's point of view and Queenie Grace's point of view. This lends an interesting perspective to the book. I really enjoyed this.
