Welcome back to WABRB! In this episode, Tiffany and Jen dive into the first half of Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartnett. Learn about the characters, the story, the chaos, and all the feelings in this book. 

Emma Starling returns home to the small town of Everton, New Hampshire after her plans of attending medical school in California didn't work out. Her father is ill with a brain disease that leaves him hallucinating animals as well as the ghost of Harold Baynes, the "Dr. Doolittle" of Everton who died in 1925. Her brother is recently out of drug rehab, and her mother is struggling in her own ways. And to add even more chaos - Emma's childhood friend, Crystal, is missing - and her father is the only one in town taking her disappearance seriously. Join us as we discuss the series of wild and heart-wrenching events that unfold for Emma, and hear our theories of what happens next!
