Story
Trish O’Kane is an accidental ornithologist. In her nearly two decades writing about justice as an investigative journalist, she'd never paid attention to nature. But then Hurricane Katrina destroyed her New Orleans home, sending her into an emotional tailspin. Enter a scrappy cast of feathered characters—first a cardinal, urban parrots, and sparrows, then a catbird, owls, a bittern, and a woodcock—that cheered her up and showed her a new path. Inspired, O'Kane moved to Madison, Wisconsin, to pursue an environmental studies PhD.

It's 1939, in New York City. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat: smuggling himself out of Hitler's Prague.

His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a partner in creating the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book.

Absorbing and profound
Sometimes, when a wonderful book and sensitive voice talent collaborate, you are gifted with those immersive moments when you no longer see the world around you — you “see” the text. . . This is one of those partnerships.

Personal informative and entertaining
Loved this book. With enough interesting personal adventures, story and research to complete the fascinating text. The author’s journey into caves, forest below ground ecosystems, tunnels under cities, deep mines and into glaciers carry the reader with him on a wonderful search for knowledge and adventure.

Beautiful and deep and utterly gutting
MacFarlane is a brilliant writer, able to turn the driest and hardest of ideas into pure, beautiful prose. As with most of his books, this one is part travelogue, part memoir, part cry for the preservation of our world. It's perfectly read, and devastating in its impact on a receptive listener.
