Dear Ms. Gibson, 

Modoc 

Ralf Helfer 

 

(I read the whole book) 

Bram and his elephant Modoc were closer than two peas in a pod. But when Modoc is sent to the circus Bram goes to rescue. They find them selfs in the middle of a hurricane, and in India but somehow they find each other after every loss. “Modoc” is the story of how a human and an elephant fight to stay together throughout the continents. 

 

I liked this part of the book because the narrator does a very good job of building the suspense. Bram’s connection with Modoc is never lost, even if they are apart. It was very heartwarming to see them reconnect after such a long time and when I thought that there was no hope, the story quickly shifted. When Bram’s wife died while carrying their child I felt so sad for him. You could tell that the narrator wanted you to have deep emotions in that chapter.  I disliked the middle of the book because it lost detail and got boring.
