A freshly original book about a shipwrecked boy, a zebra with a broken leg, a hyena, an orang utan and a Royal Bengal Tiger.

A 16 year-old boy, travelling with his family to Canada on a ship full of animals from his father's zoo is shipwrecked on the way. He finds himself in a lifeboat with the animals.
The book chronicles the fear, the ecstasy, the delirium, the triumphs, the darkness of the soul, the ability of the human spirit to survive and most of all, the barriers we put up in order to somehow keep that little part of our humanity.
Recommended. 3 1/2 out of 5
