Book of the Month: Chomp!

BOOK NAME: Chomp
AUTHOR: Carl Hiaasen

Wahoo Cray lives in a zoo. His father is an animal wrangler, so the critters he can handle. His father is the unpredictable one.

When his dad takes a job with a reality TV show called “Expedition Survival!” Wahoo figures he’ll have to keep his dad from killing Derek Badger, the show’s boneheaded star, before the shoot is over. But Derek Badger seems to actually believe his PR and insists on using wild animals for his stunts. And there’s Tuna–a girl who’s sporting a shiner courtesy of her old man 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. And then Tuna’s dad shows up with a gun…

It’s anyone’s guess who will actually survive “Expedition Survival”…

(AD) Get your copy of Chomp!

I’m sure that it’s a good book because of who the author is but the review made me a bit confused. Not sure what the plot is and then some guy named Derek shows up, Tuna, um Tuna’s dad and I have no idea who they are! Is there anyone who has read the book that can tell me more about it??

This book sounds really interesting. Does it have to do with the book Scat? Is it one of his lastest books? I was once able to see Carl Hiaasen but I didn’t. He was signing books.

I personly think this book is going to be a big hit. This is fun and laughable for all those kids who want to just read, play around, and have fun. I look forward to reading this book.

I have never heard of this author but by the way everybody is saying he sounds really cool. Is there anyone who can give me some input, this book sounds really confusing. Are all of his books this way

I agree but the video could be longer to tell more information and the description is a little bit confusing but it looks like a good book.

Good book but like all of Carl’s books I would not recommend it for younger kids cause of language.

I love this book!!!!!!!! You have to read it!
Tuna, by the way for starburst271 is a girl they found in a walmart parking lot before they go into the everglades. She had a black eye because her dad punched her and that adds problems toward the end of the story. It does have some questionable language in it but you get used to it and ignore it. And this book has nothing to do with scat.
READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
