The Elephant's Girl


















When Lexington was small a tornado ripped through the town of Lexington and she was found afterward, alone except for the elephants.  Since then she has been cared for by a zoo employee and has an affinity for the wind and the elephant who was sheltering her.  But life hasn't been easy - she is home schooled because of the teasing she received and lately things have gotten weird with her and her best friend Fisher.  When she decides to start exploring more of her past she meets a "misplaced spirit" who talks to a missing treasure.  This sends Lex on a hunt for the treasure and her past.

This was a solid middle grade book - Lex was a cool character who learns and grows.  The few tropes were resolved in unique ways so the book didn't seem "tired" to me.  I enjoyed it.
