In a busy park, the animal population has a lively society governed by bison and patrolled by our protagonist, who may or may not be a dog. Their collective adventures are fresh, fun, and full of surprise. I'm amazed at how Dave Eggers managed to reimagine an old kids' literature standby, talking animals, in such a respectful way.

I loved the flawed yet decent characters, their relatable humanity, and the emphasis on climate change and unusual setting (The Red River Valley) which, while unfamiliar to me personally, is similar to the landscape of my writing.
