Chomp
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

Absolutely so slay
By RINSIR1304
not trying to be rude but i absoloutely hate this book, i was super unprepared for the wierd style of writing and and strange plot line. i had to read this for school and as a huge reader, i was excited. but basically it starts off boring, there's something about vampires and then there's a bunch of random people shooting each other in separate boats. i love creative stories, so maybe i misjudged or misunderstood, but it was way too wierd and i would NOT recommend it to anyone. no offense, but that's just my opinion. def on my top five worst books i've ever read and i'm never reading it again,
