Description

The international bestseller about friendship, second chances, and a tiny glow-in-the-dark pink elephant
What would you do if you woke up to see a living, breathing, tiny, glowing, pink elephant If youre anything like Schoch, who lives on the streets of Zrich and is decidedly down on his luck, you might well think its time to put away the bottle before your hallucinations get any stranger, and go back to sleep.

But what if the tiny pink elephant is still there when you wake up And clearly needs someone to take care of it And what if you discover that its been created through genetic engineering, by a group of scientists who just want to use it to get rich and dont care about the elephants welfare And that theyre in cahoots with a circus and will stop at nothing to get it back

What if this little elephant is about to change your life
