![]() The reader barely notices, and does not care, that the main story has yet to begin. Jenner first builds a leisurely but fascinating backstory, rich in detail and characterization. That event, the meeting of the animals in the pet shop and their decision to escape together, does not begin until page 103. ![]() Yet Sandeagozu is not exactly that, and very much more than that. Virtually all the reviews summarize the plot as that: five exotic animals escape from a New York City pet shop to journey across America to the San Diego Zoo. Led by Sherahi (“tiger killer”), the giant pythoness, the band of odd fellows consists of her, Manu the langur, Dervish the coatimundi, Dutchess the scarlet macaw, and Junior the venomous cascabel (a South American rattlesnake). This unique and imaginative animal fantasy, set during 1932, features five cagemates from a large New York City pet shop specializing in exotic animals, who plan to escape and set out across Depression-era America for that legendary animals’ paradise, Sandeagozu – the San Diego Zoo. ![]() Your rating: None Average: 3.4 ( 9 votes) ![]()
