Hey ForeverBookers,   How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished “The Girl Who Stole An Elephant” by Nizrana Farook and I enjoyed it. It’s a middle-grade and I’d say towards the younger end of middle grade so I didn’t absolutely LOVE it but nonetheless it was fine! 3 Stars! “The Girl Who Stole An Elephant” is an adventure based novel. Our main character, Chaya starts the novel by stealing the Queen’s jewels as a vigilante character. She wants to help a boy pay for his medical expenses. What she doesn’t realise is all the trouble she’ll cause in trying to achieve this goal. She brings two friends with her. One isn’t a friend to begin with. The main setting is the Sri Lankan jungle.

That’s not to say that it can’t be read by a younger person but there are creepy and somewhat disturbing parts to the plot. I’m really glad I read this at Halloween! I wish I’d finished it on Halloween. Almost everything about the plot surprised me in a good way. I certainly wasn’t at all bored when reading it, I can tell you all that! 5 Stars! Ollie, a 6th grade girl, goes on a school trip to a farm after taking a book called “‘Small Spaces’” from a woman because the woman, Linda, doesn’t want it. She claims it’s cursed. Is it cursed? What happens because of the book? You’ll need to read to find out! I...
