chomp by Carl Hiaasen

He comes up with some of the greatest ideas.  This is a young adult book that anyone would enjoy and takes  place in the Everglades.  Involved in this twisted tale are some animal wranglers, a wanna-be reality TV guy, a dad who has no right to be one and two kids who keep their heads on straight and come through this adventure smiling and all the stronger for it.  Nature needs to be respected and a hold on reality is needed.  Both of these things are what get these kids, and us, through life and Hiaasen has nailed another great book for kids!!
