Elvis and the World As It Stands is a poignant middle-grade story about loss and finding family from the point of view of a newly adopted kitten from Lisa Frenkel Riddiough with illustrations by Olivia Chin Mueller.

An absolute delight, from beginning to end. --Anne Ursu, author of National Book Award nominee The Real Boy

Elvis's journey is sweet and funny and profound. --Eliot Schrefer, National Book Award finalist

Most shelter animals dream of going home with a forever family. But for Elvis, being chosen by Mrs. Pemberton is a nightmare. He's been separated from his sister, Etta, and is determined to get back to the shelter to find her. In spite of himself, Elvis becomes curious about 10-year-old Georgina Pemberton, who builds LEGO skyscrapers in her bedroom while navigating her parents' separation. The longer he's in his new home, the more he starts recognizing new feelings: admiration for Georgina's creations, affection for the other pets, and even empathy for the Pembertons--despite their inability to listen.

As Georgina sets out to build her most important skyscrapers yet--the Twin Towers--Elvis realizes that maybe both humans and animals can take a page from Georgina's Big Book of American Architecture and build a world of their own choosing, even if the choices aren't what they'd initially expected.
