Elvis and the World As It Stands

A poignant middle-grade story about loss and finding family from the point of view of a newly adopted kitten Most shelter animals dream of going home with a forever family. But for Elvis, being chosen by Mrs. Pemberton is a nightmare. He''s been separated from his sister, Etta, and is determined to get back to the shelter to find her. In spite of himself, Elvis becomes curious about ten-year-old Georgina Pemberton, who builds LEGO skyscrapers in her bedroom while navigating her parents'' separation. The longer he''s in his new home, the more he starts recognizing new feelings: admiration for Georgina''s creations, affection for the other pets, and even empathy for the Pembertons-despite their inability to listen. As Georgina sets out to build her most important skyscrapers yet-the Twin Towers-Elvis realizes that maybe both humans and animals can take a page from Georgina''s Big Book of American Architecture and ''build a world of their own choosing,'' even if the choices aren''t what they''d initially expected.
