Used. Paperback. Back in 1938, America needed a lift, and few spectacles could top two shipwrecked giraffes catching a cross-country ride to the San Diego Zoo. Lynda Rutledge’s sweeping saga follows a scrappy young Dust Bowl drifter tasked with driving this exceedingly tall cargo through a Depression-era landscape populated by colorful reprobates and historical figures alike. It is a wildly tall tale rooted in actual history, balancing whimsical roadside wonder with genuine grit and emotional depth. Pick this one up if you are tall-erating a reading slump and need a high-altitude adventure that refuses to look down.
