Chomp

Carl Hiaasen

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 Times
