By A Customer
This review is from: Great Elephant (Hardcover)
I read this book in 6th grade and have never forgotten it. The settings, characters, battles were were so vivid that I can remember many parts as though I read them yesterday. I can hardly wait to read it again and share it with my family and friends. I really cannot say enough about this book.

Excellent character definitions and come to life images.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Elephant (Hardcover)
"Great Elephant" is a superb mix of fiction against a true African background. It is a story of two boys who grow to manhood during a time of great tribal wars. One of these boys is a chief's son destined to fulfill his roll as leader and warrior to the death. The other boy is his friend from a different society. Though they are from two vastly different worlds they come together in the universal bond of friendship.
Alan Scholefield creates believable situations punctuated with characters that you genuinely feel compassion towards. You are not drawn into the battles, you willingly suit up. Drums beating, hearts racing, staccato breathing and sounds that ring in mind. The climax will leave you awash with tears of pride.
