Stella has always dreamed of adventure and, on her tenth birthday, it finally finds her. The Amazing Travelling Stardust Circus comes to town and she befriends Fortune, the largest – and oldest – elephant in captivity in the southern hemisphere. He tells her that he will die soon and wants to return to his home in Africa to see his family once more. With the help of her brothers, Stella kidnaps Fortune and together they cross the seas and trek through Africa, fighting hunger, thirst, pirates, storms, thieves and fear. The Year is 1875.
