Fiction: Elephant Milk, by Diane Sherry Case

Elephant Milk, by Diane Sherry Case is a quick and fun read about a girl named Sean who runs away with the circus... literally. In search of her one love, Frank, Sean finds herself in a number of compromising situations. Though she is looking for love, she finds much more.

This was a coming of age story set in 1969 that would be appropriate for a 17+ crowd, or 15-16 if you are a more liberal parent, due to a few sex and drug references.

 Because of the simple prose, the 157 pages went by quickly. The story was engaging and imaginative. However, I really would have liked to have had more back-story for a couple of the characters. Overall, this book was a light and enjoyable read.

On a scale of 1-4, I give this book a 3.5. A couple of the characters could have been developed a little deeper, but the simplicity of the story made it a good read.
