"Outdoor educator and field researcher Sara Dykman made history when she became the first person to bicycle along-side monarch butterflies on their storied annual migration--a round-trip adventure that included three countries and more than 10,000 miles. Equally remarkable, she did it solo, on a bike cobbled together from used parts."-- Provided by publisher.
