Squirm
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 Read more
