Deep in the forests of Burma, an elephant calf named Bandoola is in trouble – again.

Curious and headstrong, Bandoola can’t seem to avoid mischief. Po Toke, the man who raised him, believes he will become a great logging elephant one day. But Bandoola doesn’t want to spend his life hauling logs. He dreams of freedom and adventure.

When war sweeps across Burma and the Japanese advance into the forests, Bandoola must become the elephant Po Toke always believed in. With hope almost gone, he leads a group of elephants and refugees on a treacherous journey across the mountains to safety.

Inspired by true events, Bandoola is a story of courage, friendship, and the extraordinary bond between people and animals.
