Saving H'Non : Chang and the Elephant
(Juvenile Graphic Novels)

While volunteering at a wildlife rescue near Yok Don National Park in Vietnam, Chang--a young, spirited animal lover--helps rescue an injured and abused Asian elephant named H'Non. For decades, H'Non was forced to haul heavy timber logs and concrete poles at construction sites, and then to carry riders at tourist attractions all day long with no break. While nursing H'Non back to health, Chang is tasked with finding a Mahout--an elephant trainer--who will teach H'Non how to fend for herself in the wild. Though Chang initially has her doubts about Wat, the young Mahout she finds, H'Non takes to him instantly, and as her friendships with both H'Non and Wat grow, Chang learns what it takes to give people a chance... and that we're never too young or too old to make a difference in the world around us.
