Johannes has always lived in an urban park by the sea. It’s been a good life, a safe life. Yet when a goat named Helene invites Johannes and his friend, a seagull named Bertrand, to join her on an outbound ship (full of goats; long story), he can’t resist the pull of the unknown.
The journey brings them to a strange wilderness teeming with wolves, eagles, lynx, and bears—all eager to make a meal of the new arrivals. Meanwhile, the prey have retreated deep within the woods. But they wield a powerful weapon that could challenge the natural order, and it sparks a burning question: Is the natural order the right order? Can it be upended by the most vulnerable?
With singular humour, a thrilling pace, and wildly lyrical writing, Dave Eggers’s new novel about the exuberant Johannes will captivate readers of all ages.
