TILDA AND THE GREAT ELEPHANT ESCAPE

TILDA AND THE GREAT ELEPHANT ESCAPE is a chapter book for readers aged 8–11 featuring a girl protagonist named Tilda who embarks on an adventurous mission centered on animal rescue and elephant welfare. The tone blends humor with heart, following Tilda's courageous efforts to free or protect elephants from harm, likely with the help of friends along the way. The format is prose chapter book, presumably illustrated or at least illustrated-chapter-book-adjacent given the author (Jed Alexander is a known illustrator-author). The book carries themes reminiscent of titles like the Ranger in Time series, The One and Only Ivan, or My Father's Dragon—adventure-driven, animal-centered, and emotionally engaging without being heavy-handed. Its combination of girl-led adventure, animal welfare, humor, and courage gives it broad commercial appeal for the middle elementary audience. No direct comps were provided by the agent, but the logline suggests a fast-paced, fun, and warmhearted story. It appears positioned as a potential series starter given its character-driven premise.
