Humorous, self-deprecating narration and convoluted exploits will keep pages turning till the satisfying close.
Hiaasen's latest is richly steeped in the natural world and all the peril it contains, from rattlers to grizzlies. Still, what may be most satisfying for readers are the personal connections Billy makes, whether it's getting to know his new stepsister or making peace with his dad.
Hiaasen's ecological passion shows no sign of abatement, and neither does his faith in kid resourcefulness and family resilience
