A young girl is thrown into a river to die but miraculously survives with the help of an elephant… Hannibal’s Elephant Girl: Tin Tin Ban Sunia by Charley Brindley

This is the story of my life as a young girl following Hannibal and his army from Carthage in North Africa to Iberia, and then over the Alps toward Rome. I never reached Rome, but then neither did Hannibal. I left him after the battle of Trebbia, taking with me his last remaining elephant, Obolus, and my friend, the slave girl Tin Tin Ban Sunia. This book recounts the first month of our long journey.
