Theodore G. Manno traces the history of nutria from their natural range in South America to their status as an invasive species known for destroying the environmentally and economically important wetlands along the Gulf Coast. In this definitive book on “swamp rats,” Manno vividly recounts western expansion and the explosion of the American fur industry. Then he details an apocalyptic turn—to replace an overhunted beaver population in North America, humans introduced nutria. With an eclectic repertoire of true stories that read like fiction and are played out by larger-than-life characters, Manno conveys the legend of empire-seeking fur trappers, the bizarre miscommunications that led to nutria releases, and the sadness that comes with killing millions of nutria whose ancestors were never meant to leave their South American habitat. He tells of disastrous interactions among hungry nutria, storm surges from Hurricane Katrina, and major oil spills. His extensively researched and epic narrative, accompanied by more than thirty photographs and entertaining interviews with biologists, historians, fashion designers, and chefs, weaves a poignant tale of empire, conquest, fortune, and even Tabasco Sauce. Manno provides a full overview of what is currently known about nutria—a species now aggressively hunted with a bounty program because of their reputation for wetland destruction.

Lipa has always refused to accept her place as a girl nutria in the rigid society of her burrow. She is fiercely protective of her brother, Suho, a runt who claims to understand the signs the humans have posted along the riverbanks. He believes that their river rat colony is about to be exterminated, but his warning is dismissed by the nutria leaders, who cling to their traditional mythology. The brother and sister decide to run for their lives. Only a few other outcasts are willing to join them. Embarking on a quest to find a new home, they must swim against the current of the Great Flow, confronting steep cement banks and a barrier long thought to be impassable. Venturing into the unknown, they encounter strange groups of nutria who have devised their own strategies for survival. Lipa begins to question the old beliefs as she leads the ragtag band of exiles into an uncertain future. Then, with the help of a new friend, Lipa makes a shocking discovery that exposes the truth behind the nutria's traditions - and means that the price of failing to carve out her own burrow is brutal confinement and certain death for all of her followers. She must risk everything to keep her new burrow alive and free. Join Lipa, Suho and their adventurous friends on a heroic journey as they embark on an unwitting search for the meaning of life itself, during a time of spiritual crisis.

That same day she finds Cree at her door, the boy who lives two houses down on her tiny patch of land. He’s twelve and strong, the first boy she’s ever seen, and he invites her to dinner with his baby brothers, because Cree, like Princess, is mostly alone in the world.
