When 11-year-old Jack Martel crawls out of his pup tent on the first morning of his camping trip with his mom in Acadia National Park, he notices right away that something isn’t right. Where is his mom’s tent, and their rental car? And where is his mom? Any other kid might panic, might even go to the police. But Jack isn’t like other kids. And his mom isn’t like other moms.

Jack knows that it’s up to him to find his mom before someone figures out what’s happened and separates them forever. But finding his mom in the state of Maine isn’t the same as finding her in their neighborhood back in Boston. With nothing but a small plastic elephant to keep him company, Jack begins his search, starting with all the places they’d planned to visit together. But as the search drags on, a dark thought plagues him: once he finds his mom, will he ever be able to forgive her?

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did. I grew up with an undiagnosed bipolar single mother. This book is a great story about mental illness and the love of a child for their parent, no matter what the parent puts them through. How forgiving children are is astonishing. I could relate with Jack. From beginning to end, I felt a kindred spirit. I felt his pain and worry and fear. His drive to survive mirrored my own growing up.

Any additional comments?

Great heart tugging story. Give it a chance.

Great story. So-so Narrator.

This is a lovely, hopeful read about, Jack, an 11-year-old boy who finds himself abandoned at a Maine campground while on vacation with his mom. When I chose to read this book, I didn't realize the reason his mom left him was due to her mental illness; had I known, I'm not sure I would have chosen this book (expecting it to be too heart wrenching). I'm glad I read "Small as an Elephant" though -- it captures the resilience and hope that sometimes only children have, and their ability to forgive. As Jack tries to make his way back to the home he shares with his mom in Massachusetts, he experiences hunger, homelessness, fear of being found and concern about the repercussions of his mom's departure on his life. Through it all, Jack persists and endures... he is inspired by his knowledge of elephants and their traits. I don't want to give away the ending -- like the rest of the story, it is hopeful and satisfying. I listened to this as an audiobook, and found the narration made the story come alive. I highly recommend Small as an Elephant: It's an interesting, satisfying children's book with appeal for readers of all ages.

Unexpectedly hopeful and satisfying

When this title first begins you are going to have strong emotions about the lead character and his mom. Then, as it progresses, Jacobson expertly weaves together a story that makes your compassion take over. It’s a wonderful read that even teenagers will love.
