(3) 4-6 Nandu, an adopted boy in the King's elephant stable in 1970s Nepalese Borderlands, must find a way to save his stable when the King orders it shut down. Diverse episodes, including bullying, a murder charge, and friendship with an American, lead to the eventual solution. Concrete cultural details, close ties to the elephants, and exceptional descriptions of remote jungle terrain distinguish this historical tale.
