Description
In this hysterical #1 New York Times bestseller, one kid has to wrangle gators, snakes, bats that bite, and a reality show host gone rogue! This is Carl Hiaasen's Florida—where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder!
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. . .
“Only 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
“Chomp is a delightful laugh-out-loud sendup of the surreality of TV that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.” —Los Angeles Times
Reviews
um sorry but i hate this book
1By Melissa Perrynot trying to be rude but i absoloutely hate this book, i was super unprepared for the wierd style of writing and and strange plot line. i had to read this for school and as a huge reader, i was excited. but basically it starts off boring, there's something about vampires and then there's a bunch of random people shooting each other in separate boats. i love creative stories, so maybe i misjudged or misunderstood, but it was way too wierd and i would NOT recommend it to anyone. no offense, but that's just my opinion. def on my top five worst books i've ever read and i'm never reading it again,Carl Hiaasen is the Best!

5By Garret flittonAwesome totally recommend this bookChomp!!!
5By Boogie funI love Chomp! I like how Carl Hiaasen can add enough horror, but not to much to make it scary. I would recommend this book to people ages 7+ because there is a drunk guy, and cussing. Minus that its a great book. Just for a bit older kids.💛💙💜💚❤Love❤💚💜💙💛 💛💙💜💚❤The❤💚💜💙💛 💛💙💜💚❤Book❤💚💜💙💛Chomp delivers
5By Susan EnckeThe long wait between Scat and Chomp was well worth it! The only disappointment was that nature never got her chance to take a bite out of the bad guy. Great book and looking forward to the next Carl Hiaasen novel.
