The last elephant / Justin D'Ath


Colt and his mother, a vet, go to a circus where there are live animal acts. Set in the future, this is a very rare event, because almost all animals have been killed by the rat virus that has swept over the earth. Then the worst happens - the last living elephant in the world comes down with the disease and she is about to shot in an effort to contain a further outbreak. Colt, a new friend, Birdy, his mother and the circus owner all play a part in saving Lucy, the last elephant. This is a quick and easy read, but worthwhile as it makes you think about what things would be like with practically no animals at all in the world.

Who would enjoy this? Anyone who wants a quick and interesting read, about animals.
