Chomp

The hysterical #1 New York Times bestseller from Newbery honoree Carl Hiaasen featuring gators, snakes, bats that bite, and reality show hosts gone wild!
 
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. . . 
  

€œOnly 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
 
€œChomp is a delightful laugh-out-loud sendup of the surreality of TV that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.€ €"Los Angeles Times
 
€œChomp shines in its humorous, subtle tweaks on pop culture. . . . The real satisfaction, however, is not so much in the book€s humor but in its truth.€ €"Time Out Chicago Kids
