"Based on the real story of a reform school that operated for 111 years and warped the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative that showcases a great American novelist writing at the height of his powers."

"Without a doubt, the most delicious natural history book of the decade. Svensson's prose effortlessly undulates between his own personal experience and a thousand years of scientific inquiry. But it's his call to conservation--not just of this noble eel but of our memories both personal and cultural--that truly elevates this remarkably poignant work."--Mark Siddall, curator and professor, American Museum of Natural History
