About This Book
"Elephant Secret" tells the compelling story of Sam, a young girl who has grown up immersed in the world of an elephant sanctuary. Her life takes an extraordinary turn when a beloved elephant dies giving birth, leaving behind an orphaned calf named Woolly. Woolly, however, is no ordinary elephant; she is a woolly mammoth, cloned from ancient DNA. Sam quickly develops a deep, protective bond with Woolly.
