Publisher's summary

KID ELEPHANTS IN SPACE!

Fifth grader Oz Wimbly is an easy target for the bullies of Gifford Elementary, but everything changes when he is drafted into the "Elephant Rebellion."

Oz is whisked off to Fort Loxo—in a galaxy far, far away—where he learns that he is actually an elephant that has been hidden on Earth. And better yet, he can fly!

After surviving ten weeks of boot camp, the many obstacle courses, and the Top Trunk tournament, Oz realizes he and the other recruits of the 11th Battalion are being prepared for battle. Ten of them will be chosen for the most dangerous mission ever attempted by the Rebellion. To retrieve the Firestones. And win back their planet.

And it might all be up to Oz.

With over 50 amazing illustrations, you won't be able to put it down!

Story wonderful, virtual voice a nightmare

Nick Pirog proves that he has always been a marvelous storyteller, character creator and world builder, even in his early days. Cute, funny, mysterious and relatable....think Bad News Bears meets An Officer and a Gentleman in a George Lucas fever dream produced by Disney. It's a wild ride from beginning to end. The fly in the ointment is the virtual voice...it sounds like a first-year theater student's attempt at that phony Oxford English accent, except when she is trying to voice anyone who has an accent other than standard American English. Be it Russian, southeast Asian or American deep south, they all sound exactly alike....an amateur attempt at a Jamaican accent....... Add to that the strange inflections, odd pronunciations, and spelling random words instead of pronouncing them and it becomes nearly unbearable. It speaks highly of the quality of this book that we were willing to stick out the narration...but the book is worth it. Nick, Audible...whomever is in charge, please re-record this with a real voice actor, not AI and please, please, please, don't ever use an AI voice again!

Paramilitary preteens

What if Harry Potter turned into an elephant and played Enders Game like it was Quidditch?
This plot has been around for awhile but Nick Pirog freshens it up. Outright joviality is missing (unlike his previous work) but clever storytelling is abundant. It’s above excellent by YA standards and for anyone who likes this plot line!

The narrator was probably chosen for her good looks, she sounds somewhat like the British woman in my car dashboard but much better. She only stumbles on a few words and exclamations.

Glad I didn’t start with this one

I didn’t realize this was YA when I got it. That should’ve given me a clue what to expect. Pirog is much better than this. But the AI reading has a lot of room to improve.
