Chomp

Description

In this hysterical 1 New York Times bestseller, one kid has to wrangle
gators, snakes, bats that bite, and a reality show host gone rogue! This is
Carl Hiaasen’s Florida—where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder!
When Wahoo Cray’s dad—a professional animal wrangler—takes a job with a
reality TV show called Expedition Survival!, Wahoo figures he’ll have to do a
bit of wrangling himself to keep his father from killing Derek Badger, the
show’s inept and egotistical star. But the job keeps getting more complicated:
Derek Badger insists on using wild animals for his stunts; and Wahoo’s
acquired a shadow named Tuna—a girl who’s sporting a shiner courtesy of her
father and needs a place to hide out. They’ve only been on location in the
Everglades for a day before Derek gets bitten by a bat and goes missing in a
storm. Search parties head out and promptly get lost themselves. And then
Tuna’s dad shows up with a gun . . . It’s anyone’s guess who will actually
survive Expedition Survival. . . “Only in Florida—and in the fiction of its
native son Carl Hiaasen—does a dead iguana fall from a palm tree and kill
somebody.” —New York Post “Chomp is a delightful laugh-out-loud sendup of the
surreality of TV that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.” —Los Angeles
