All alumni, parents and friends of Kenyon are invited to attend the next virtual book club. At this meeting of the book club the group will discuss "The Island of Last Things" by Emma Sloley.
Set in a future where the wild has nearly vanished, "The Island of Last Things
follows Camille, a zookeeper at the world’s last zoo on Alcatraz Island. When a new keeper, Sailor, arrives with dreams of a secret animal sanctuary, Camille is drawn into a daring plan that could change everything. As danger closes in, she must decide how much she’s willing to risk for the promise of a better world.
Propulsive and fiercely hopeful, with a heart-stopping final twist, "The Island of Last Things" is an elegy for a disappearing world and a gorgeous vision for the future.
