Chomp - by Carl Hiaasen

     

In this book, Wahoo Cray and his dad, Mickey, who is a professional animal wrangler agree to do this TV show that involves wrangling wild animals and using some of the animals that the Cray’s keep at home as some sort of pet. The host of the show, Derek Badger is very impatient and annoying. Even though Derek Badger says he is a professional survivalist he really does not know how to do anything. Wahoo and Mickey really do not like Derek Badger.

    How do you think the story will end?  It has lots of funny twists and turns, but I don’t want to spoil it for you.

In my opinion, I think that this is a very funny and good book set in the Everglades in Florida. I think the lesson in this book is even if you do not like someone a lot you sometimes have to work with them.

I would recommend this book for people who like reptiles, the behind the scenes of a reality TV show, or who like reading about people trying to survive in the Everglades that know nothing about nature.
