by Eleanor Keisman (Author)

The story begins long after the Earth loses its battle with a humanity that both depends on yet ultimately destroys it, leaving the planet an inhospitable furnace. Pope and his pack flee the raging inferno into which the out-of-control heat has turned Yellowstone, their natural habitat. It is a desperate journey across the Rockies and toward the promise of cooler weather and a new life in Canada. Ultimately, Pope stands as the last of his pack, and his encounters with humans and other wolves become increasingly fraught and dangerous, threatening his freedom, his sanity, and even his life.

Eleanor Keisman's New Animal is no polemic, it is not a call to action-it is a deeply emotional and stupendously powerful paean to the planet and all who depend on it. It is the sort of book that does more than simply make you think-although it does that-it makes you feel the sorts of things that we read great literature to feel: love, hate, empathy, and finally understanding. While Keisman never explicitly advocates taking a particular action, it is impossible to read her story and not feel compelled to protect this orbiting blue orb we call home.
