The hysterical no 1 New York Times bestseller by Newbery honoree Carl Hiaasen -- featuring gators, animal wranglers, inept reality TV hosts and one frozen iguana.

Wahoo Cray has grown up with a zoo in his backyard - alligators, snakes, rats, monkeys and parrots ... but it''s his dad who''s the real unpredictable critter. When his dad 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 dad from killing the show''s inept star Derek Badger, who insists on using real wild animals for his stunts. And Wahoo''s acquired a shadow named Tuna, a girl who''s hiding from her own dad. 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 promptly get lost themselves. And then Tuna''s dad shows up with a gun...

It''s anyone''s guess who will survive...

Industry Reviews

A funny and furiously fast-moving novel populated by engaging characters and fuelled by a strong sense of moral outrage - GUARDIAN

As ever with Hiaasen, rambunctious humour and twisted French farce plotting make the book a joy to read, and there's the usual undercurrent of scathing indignation against modern civilisation's stupidities - FINANCIAL TIMES

America's finest satirical novelist - OBSERVER

Carl Hiaasen is a supremely entertaining writer whose novels also bear a timely message...an abiding belief in the power of the individual to alter things - INDEPENDENT
