Wow, this was such an interesting read!

Sara is an amazing woman who plans this trip to bicycle the path of the monarch butterfly's migration. In this book, she weaves together her travel experiences, and information about the monarchs. The way she describes the monarchs is magical and her appreciation for nature shines through on every page. I'm now determined to visit Mexico and see them for myself.

Sara also weaves in important topics like refugee rights and climate change. These parts are emotional to read but weaved in perfectly and so appreciated.

Poetic descriptions made it easy to fall asleep to, so I probably missed huge chunks. But I also don't feel like I did. Very slow. It might have been more effective story telling as a documentary..
