“A compelling and unusual look at a complex and intractable problem that succeeds admirably as story as well.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Fast paced, with strong character voice in the writing. Great for discussion.” - School Library Journal

Magical, mysterious, fresh, original, and full of heart, Eric Kahn Gale’s The Zoo at the Edge of the World will keep you at the edge of your seat.” - Peter Lerangis, New York Times-bestselling author of The Seven Wonders and The 39 Clues series
