Reviews for The Endangered Species Road Trip. A Summer's Worth of Dingy Motels, Poison Oak, Ravenous Insects, and the Rarest Species in North America.
"MacDonald's comedic sense and his engaging style are addictive and the resulting tale is intensely charming."
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "MacDonald's bush-country odyssey is a mix of conservation insight, dubious parenting techniques, and pure, rare, wild joy of discovering North America's last living treasures."
Zac Unger, author of Never Look a Polar Bear in the Eye
