Read an Excerpt

The Great Smoky Mountains are called the “Salamander Capital of the World.” There are about 30 kinds of salamanders in the park, including the Jordan’s Redcheeked Salamander. This salamander is found nowhere else on the planet! It’s easy to tell apart from others by the bright red or orange patches on its cheeks. If you weighed all the salamanders in the park, they would weigh even more than 25 elephants!
