This is a wonderful story written in a lovely way. It is one of those books you find yourself thinking about when you lie in bed at night.... I really love it. If you like Water For Elephants you will like this as well

I enjoyed reading about something I never gave a thought to before. Transporting giraffes from their native land to a zoo far away mixed in with a human interest story of a young man growing up on his own was interesting on both aspects of the story.

The story is fascinating. Good character development. I don’t really care for the way the boys thoughts and feelings (about the girl he’s infatuated with) are portrayed. Adolescent, and silly, if you ask me. Example: “ she put her hands on my face and I felt a tingling below my belt…” eh.

This is an odyssey for the giraffes and the young protagonist. Both will go through many obstacles before reaching "Californy." The old man and the young man must work together to get everyone safely to their destination. Great writing.

Throughly enjoying the book. As an animal lover and reading a great deal about the dust bowl can admire how people and animals tried to survive.
