<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A superbly entertaining read." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b><br> <b>"Will win over teens." --<i>School Library Journal</i> (starred review)</b> <p/><b>A teen boy's world gets turned upside-down when a zoo of exotic animals takes over his small town in this wickedly funny, heartbreakingly honest novel that's perfect for fans of David Arnold.</b> <p/>In Makersville, Indiana, people know all about Ronney--he's from that mixed-race family with the dad who tried to kill himself, the pill-popping mom, and the genius kid sister. If having a family like that wasn't bad enough, the local eccentric at the edge of town decided one night to open up all the cages of his exotic zoo--lions, cheetahs, tigers--and then shoot himself dead. Go figure. Even more proof that you can't trust adults to do the right thing. <p/>Overnight, news crews, gun control supporters, and gun rights advocates descend on Makersville, bringing around-the-clock news coverage, rallies, and anti-rallies with them. With his parents checked out, Ronney is left tending to his sister's mounting fears of roaming lions, stopping his best friend from going on a suburban safari, and shaking loose a lonely boy who follows Ronney wherever he goes. Can Ronney figure out a way to hold it together as all his worlds fall apart? <p/>From acclaimed author Crystal Chan comes an incisive tale of love, loyalty, and the great leaps we take to protect the people and places we love most.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A superbly entertaining read that weaves issues of mental health and gun control with adolescent angst." --<b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i>, starred review</b> <p/>"Will win over teens." --<b><i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review</b> <p/>"Despite Ronney's ire, he's a storyteller possessed with a wicked and honest sense of humor about reality and relationships. Chan takes a measured approach to controversial topics like suicide and addiction, the news media, gun control and rights, and animal activism, most of which are relevant to today's teens. At a time when high-school students are campaigning for change, this book is sure to be in demand." --<b><i>Booklist</i></b><br>
