Publisher's Synopsis
ELEPHANT KISSWhen eleven-year-old Jess learns her beloved dog Maxx doesn't have much time left, she can't bring herself to say goodbye. Instead, she embarks on a magical quest with her friends through the Wellington hills of New Zealand, following her late father's unfinished comic book to find Mythra, a mythical elephant whose kiss can cure any animal.
Imagination and reality blur in their epic adventure through enchanted forests and mysterious caves, followed by a nemesis who's after Maxx. Jess discovers that some journeys are about more than the destination, and that sometimes the most important thing on the journey, is learning when to let go. Elephant Kiss is a luminous and often humourous tale of friendship, courage, and the healing power of love that transcends loss. A beautiful story that will make you laugh, cry, and believe in the power of imagination.________________________________________
