Description
A National Bestseller Ramona Ausubel's The Last Animal is a wildly entertaining adventure story and a meditation on what it means to love your children-fiercely and imperfectly. When teenage sisters Eve and Vera's summer vacation takes an unexpected turn, they stumble upon a perfectly preserved, four-thousand-year-old baby mammoth in the Arctic. This discovery sets off a chain of events that leads to a surprising journey, exploring the possibilities and perils of the human imagination on a changing planet. As they travel from Siberia to Iceland to an exotic animal farm in Italy, the family's lives become increasingly entwined with the discovery. Along the way, they must confront the challenges of being a woman in a field dominated by men and the complexities of family relationships. With its refreshing and different kind of journey, The Last Animal is a full-hearted portrait of sisterhood, family, and the ways we process grief. A charming and original story, The Last Animal is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a unique and engaging tale of family, love, and discovery.
