Selected by Indie Booksellers for the October 2008 Indie Notables“I was pulled along with Benjamin Mee and his family through the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking, as they purchased a rundown zoo set to close. It's a wonderful, funny-but-sad story of making a dream come true”
-- Macaela Willadsen, Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop, Brookfield, WI
