Everything you need to understand or teach The Last Animal by Ramona Ausubel.
Ramona Ausubel's fabulist novel The Last Animal imagines what might occur if science was capable of reintroducing the woolly mammoth to its natural habitat. A jet-setting novel, The Last Animal moves between Siberia, California, Iceland, and Italy as it tracks the movements of Jane Drake and her two daughters, Eve and Vera, while they navigate a perilous world of scientific malpractice and grief for the death of their father, Sal. As the novel takes shape, it explores themes such as environmentalism, gender, personal loss, wealth, and motherhood.
