| Public details: Book 1: West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge. 1938: The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California's first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow Wilson Nickel. Book 2: Naked Came the Florida Man by Tim Dorsey. Serge A. Storms drags his best pal, Coleman, on a cemetery tour starting on Grassy Key, the marine life research center where America’s most famous dolphin is laid to rest. As he wends his way northward, Serge faces the usual Florida challenges: A hurricane is bearing down on him, and an assortment of petty grifters prey on the innocent, requiring him to mete out ingenious and increasingly gory punishments. |
