    eBook (Beast and Bones, LLC, May 20, 2018)
    How far would you go to save a friend? And what if that friend were an animal in captivity?The Last Elephant in New York City is the story of Maxwell, a Ghanaian wildlife ranger, Jessie, an American researcher, and the elephant that united them. On a decades-long mission of compassion, this is a journey of heartbreak, hope, and redemption, laid out in snapshots, like memory itself. Illustrating the worst and best of humanity, it’s a glimpse of parallel worlds—the ongoing sorrows of African elephant poaching and the struggles of life for elephants in zoos. Read it out loud. Read it with someone you love.Inspired by actual events"Kelly offers a cinematic experience, frequently using flashbacks to flesh out her story... the thoughtful way that Kelly writes about the isolated elephant makes the story compelling; particularly moving is a section entitled "Elephant Dream," which reads like a morbid fairy tale."
