    [synopsis] => A humorous short story from the collection, BEYOND THE STARS, written by an internationally bestselling author Abigail Crumb works every day after school at the local vet's while she saves up for a present for her pet elephant. So when she loses – and then finds again – one of the puppies in her care, she knows she can't tell anyone without putting her job on the line. But how will she keep her secret? After several chance encounters with Henry Brocket – a lonely little boy who's always dressed as a pilot – Abigail suddenly realises what she needs to do. John Boyne's extraordinary tale of a little girl and her menagerie is brought to life by evocative illustrations. Look out for the eleven other stories – also available as e-shorts! • One of the twelve winter-themed tales of adventure, magic and wonder, taken from the collection of stories, BEYOND THE STARS • Written and illustrated by Irish talents in children's fiction today • John Boyne is the award-winning, bestselling author of THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS • All profits go to Fighting Words - the Irish Story Centre that supports creative writing for children and adults and was inspired by Dave Eggers' 826 Valencia project in the USA, as have other creative writing centres all over the world since then
