I just read The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo. What a fine way of writing and enveloping you in a magical world inhabited by memorable and credible characters that live in Baltese, where winter covers all. The main character is Peter Augustus Duchene, a orphan who is looking for his sister. Other important characters are an elephant that appears out of nowhere and brought by a magician and Leo, a policeman like those from before. The narrative flows and traps you from the first paragraph. All the characters are well rounded and none is superflous and all are necessary and the ending is very satisfactory. DiCamillo is also the author of Because of Winn-Dixie, one of my favorites, and The Tale of Desperaux. They are all very recommendable.

The Magician's Elephant by/por Kate DiCamillo
Acabo de leer The Magician's Elephant, de Kate DiCamillo. Qué bonita forma de escribir y envolverte en un mundo mágico poblado de entrañables y creíbles personajes que viven en Baltese, donde el invierno cubre todo. El personaje principal es Peter Augustus Duchene, un niño huérfano que está buscando a su hermana. Otros personajes importantes son un elefante que aparece de la nada traída por un mago y Leo, un policía como los de antaño. La lectura es fluida y te atrapa desde el primer párrafo. Todos los personajes están bien trazados y no hay uno que falte o que sobre y el final es muy satisfactorio. DiCamillo también es autora de Because of Winn-Dixie, uno de mis favoritos, y The Tale of Desperaux. Se los recomiendo todos.
