Wahoo (names after the fighter, not the fish)Cray lives with his parents and an assortment of wild creatures in Florida's Everglades. Wahoo's father is an animal wrangler and has landed a job with the reality show "Expedition Survival" but after suffering a concussion from a falling frozen iguana is in no shape to get the job done. The show's star, Derek Badger, begins to believe he can stop faking his adventures and get out into the real wildlife and do his own stunts.
It isn't long before Hiaasen's usual cast of outlandish, slightly twisted and insane characters show up and the plot moves into high gear with a missing reality star who thinks he's turning into a vampire, a run away girl named "Tuna" with a deranged, gun toting father, and airboat chases through the Everglades.
A great read by Carl Hiaasen that both readers of his adult novels and children's books will enjoy.
