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

Rezensionen

Süddeutsche Zeitung - Rezension
Süddeutsche Zeitung | Besprechung von 15.11.2013

Everglades
Tiere und Landschaft der Everglades bilden das Szenario, in dem der neue Abenteuerroman von Carl Hiaasen spielt, der sich durch kantige Typen, gelungene Dialoge und jugendliche Helden, die auf Augenhöhe mit den Erwachsenen agieren, auszeichnet. Dieses mal werden ein Tiertrainer und sein Sohn von einer Filmgesellschaft engagiert, um bei den Dreharbeiten für eine Abenteuerserie zu assistieren. Deren berühmter Star entpuppt sich als Idiot, der, überheblich und dumm, sich und die anderen in Gefahr bringt. Eine Krimihandlung heizt zudem die Spannung an.
