It's 1945, and the bombing of Dresden is imminent. Before the bombs start to fall, Lizzie's zookeeper mother brings home the one animal she can't bear to lose: Marlene, the elephant.

When Lizzie and her family join the thousands of other refugees fleeing the city, they end up with more than one unusual companion . . .
