Hailed as the heir to Roald Dahl by The Spectator, the UK's #1 bestselling children's author, David Walliams, will have fans of Stuart Gibbs and Gordan Korman in stitches!
David Walliams burst on to the American scene with his New York Times bestseller Demon Dentist, and now he's bringing his signature humor to this story of a ten-year-old orphan and a 10,000-year-old mammoth.
When Elsie, an orphan on the streets of Victorian London, hears about the mysterious Ice Monster--a woolly mammoth found at the North Pole--she's determined to discover more....
Luckily, a chance encounter brings Elsie face to face with the creature, sparking the adventure of a lifetime--from London to the heart of the Arctic!
But saving a prehistoric creature isn't easy, especially when greedy villains want it for themselves. Can one little girl protect her gigantic new friend?
- An Unlikely Friendship: Between Elsie, a ten-year-old orphan with monkey feet, and a 10,000-year-old woolly mammoth who loves jam.
- A Grand Victorian Adventure: From the grimy backstreets of London to the frozen ice of the North Pole, a journey filled with daring escapes and narrow misses.
- Found Family: Elsie finds more than just a friend; she finds a home with a dotty cleaning lady, a tiny soldier, and a crew of hilarious Chelsea Pensioners.
- Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: Fans of Roald Dahl will love this hilarious story packed with quirky characters, madcap schemes, and one very gassy mammoth.
