The Island of Last Things

"In the not-too-distant future, climate change and its attendant complications have caused masses of species to go extinct, with some rare specimens inhabiting places like the private zoo on Alcatraz Island. Camille works and lives on Alcatraz and prefers spending her time with the animals – until, that is, a new zookeeper, Sailor, arrives, and she finally feels like she’s found a kindred spirit. But when Sailor begins hatching plans to free the animals, Camille is faced with questions about the nature of freedom, survival, fantasy and friendship. This sad, sweet and still hopeful book is for the animal lovers among us."
