IRB Introduction- Wild Ones

The first independent reading book that I will be reading is "Wild Ones" by Jon Mooallem.  I saw this book in a book shop on the Lopez Islands off the coast of Washington State, and figured it would be cool to buy it as a souvenir.  Little did I know, this book about the extinction crisis of animals and what we can do to solve this issue is an award winner, and was on the New York Times 100 notable books list in 2013, leading me to actually wanting to read it.
