熔幽默、辛辣與動物知識於一爐的美少女青春狂想曲！
12歲的少女Ana Wright跟著個性古怪的動物學家爸媽一起住在動物園裡，每天和響尾蛇、鱷魚做鄰居。當最好的朋友Liv飛往世界另一端的紐西蘭後，正值尷尬青春期、缺乏自信心的Ana忽然不知道該如何面對學校裡那些愛道人長短的女孩，以及她心儀的Zack（雖然他總是叫她Annie）。
本身即是動物學家的作者Jess Keating在這部青少年小說處女作裡，以別出心裁的方式描述青少年除了生理轉變外，心理所遭受的衝擊有時更讓人恐慌。就像小白兔面對叢林裡埋伏的猛獸，每一步都要小心翼翼似的，Ana為了順利融入同儕生活，總是盡力隱藏與大象、鱷魚們共同生活的事實；但另一方面，特殊的環境與新朋友卻也讓她逐漸拾起勇氣，慢慢地活出自己的樣子……。
一本揉和了歡笑、淚水、動物與愛情的青春喜劇，是夏天絕佳的消暑良方！
"A wild romp, filled with humor and heart."—Lisa Schroeder, author of It's Raining Cupcakes and the Charmed Life series
Ana Wright's social life is now officially on the endangered list: she lives in a zoo (umm, elephant droppings!?), her best friend lives on the other side of the world, and the Sneerers are
making junior high miserable. All Ana wants is to fade into the background.
Yeah, that's not going to happen.
