Bram and Modoc entered the world on the same day, sharing the meaningful connection of a birthday. They both loved to frolic around the large family farm, and were each other’s best friend. Their only differences were species, for Bram was a boy, and Modoc a circus elephant. Heartbreakingly, the circus eventually was sold to an American business man with plans to take all of the animals, including Modoc, to his home country. Bram, devastated, couldn’t let his elephant go, and embarked on a journey around the world to stay with his best friend.

*I recommend this book on Bram’s and Modoc’s tale to ages above 13, for it entails some descriptive romance.
