Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Hailed as "the heir to Roald Dahl" by The Spectator, the UK's #1 bestselling children's author, David Walliams, will have fans of Stuart Gibbs and Gordan Korman in stitches!
David Walliams burst on to the American scene with his New York Times bestseller Demon Dentist, and now he's bringing his signature humor to this story of a ten-year-old orphan and a 10,000-year-old mammoth.
When Elsie, an orphan on the streets of Victorian London, hears about the mysterious Ice Monster--a woolly mammoth found at the North Pole--she's determined to discover more....
Luckily, a chance encounter brings Elsie face to face with the creature, sparking the adventure of a lifetime--from London to the heart of the Arctic!
"Originally published in Great Britain by HarperCollins Publishers, 2018"--Title page verso.
Includes notes about woolly mammoths and the real Victorian world.
Ages 8-12.
In 1899 London, ten-year-old orphan Elsie helps revive a 10,000-year-old woolly mammoth and together they set out for the North Pole, evading capture the entire way.
