Unfortunately, Roy’s first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn’t been sinking his thumbs into Roy’s temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and–here’s the odd part–wore no shoes. Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy’s trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails.
Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen’s Florida.

    I have read other books by Hiassen directed at adults. They were hilarious, and this one was as well. Hiassen will appeal to mischeivious middle school and maybe high school boys. The boys in the story are mischeivious for a good cause to save burrowing owls in a small town in Florida. I listened to it and read it depending on what I had time for. The reader was Chad Lowe. He was ok, but I think someone else might have been better.
