The Girl Who Stole an Elephant

Own Voices author Nizrana Farook makes her middle grade debut in a daring

tale of friendship, risk, and reward, all set against the lush backdrop of Sri Lanka.

Chaya, a nobleman’s rebellious, outspoken, no-nonsense daughter, just can’t

resist the shiny temptations the king’s palace has to offer. But playing Robin Hood

for her impoverished community doesn’t come without risks, and when Chaya

steals the queen’s jewels from a bedside table—a messy getaway jeopardizes the

life of a close friend.

After an equally haphazard prison break, Chaya barely escapes on the king’s

prized elephant! With leeches and revolution lurking in the jungle, Chaya leads

her companions on a thrilling adventure. After leaving her village as a thief, can

she return as a hero? Or will Chaya’s sticky fingers be the beginning—or the end—

of everything for the intrepid gang?

Own Voices debut author Nizrana Farook spins a page-turning middle grade tale in

a lush, fictional Sri Lankan setting. Just right for adventure fans, the book explores

themes of friendship and loyalty, risk and reward, and heroism.
