Tusk and Stone

Rating:
Summary: Interesting fiction for avid YA readers.
Review: What I found most interesting in this title was the relationship of young Arjun to the elephant he trained and rode into battle. Admittedly, I know little of seventh-century India, and cannot vouch for historical accuracy, but this was an interesting book in time and place. I also enjoyed Arjun's coming to maturity through hardships and valor. For 12 years and up who enjoy reading about faraway places and long-ago lives.
