Another book is making the jump to the silver screen:
We Bought A Zoo: The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken Down Zoo, and the 200 Wild Animals that Changed their Lives Forever. In a real-life version of the classic TV series "
Green Acres," a former British newspaper columnist tells how he uprooted his family to the English countryside and purchased a dilapidated zoo, which he planned to refurbish and reopen as a family business. However, a lack of money, skeptical staff, family tension, and his wife's devastating illness complicated his plans. If you enjoy uplifting stories about animals, escaping the corporate world, and the healing power of hope, check this book out before
the movie (premiering December 23) makes it much harder to get yours hands on.
