Peter lives with an old soldier since his parents are dead. He is sent to the market to get fish and bread only he spends the money on a trip to a fortuneteller who tells him his sister is alive, a sister he thought died at birth, and an elephant will lead him to her. A magician makes an elephant crash through the roof of a theater and crushes the legs of a rich patron. By way of the elephant and the intermingling of the citizens of Baltese, Peter finds his sister and things are set right.
This book was a fast read. It was neat how the lives of several people in the story intermingled to bring Peter back to his sister. Professional views thought this book was great - I thought it was just okay.
