Publisher Description

A wildly entertaining adventure involving snakes, grizzlies, a menacing drone, a missing father, and the kid determined to find him. In classic Hiaasen fashion, the animals here are wild, and the people are wilder!

Some facts about Billy Dickens:
  *  He once saw a biker swerve across the road in order to run over a snake.
  *  Later, that motorcycle somehow ended up at the bottom of a canal.
  *  Billy isn't the type to let things go.
Some facts about Billy's family:
  *  They've lived in six different Florida towns because Billy's mom insists on getting a house near a bald eagle nest.
  *  Billy's dad left when he was four and is a total mystery.
  *  Billy has just found his dad's address--in Montana.

This summer, Billy will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbor's cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.

"A fun romp that will keep readers hooked." —The New York Times

Squirm

Carl is heartbroken. It’s hard to be Laissez-faire funny when everything you care about and love is at risk.That’s what I read in this book.

Not just for young adults!

I’ve read all of Hiassen’s “young adult” books. They portray his love of the natural beauty of Florida and at the same time lay bare the damage intruders cause, and at the same time lay bare the craziness of the people and improbability of events in the daily news.
Each features one or more strongly committed teens.
The only drawback to reading one is that it comes to an end, and we have to wait for the next one!
