Book Description:
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.

This is an excellent pre-teen book. It is very funny and the action keeps them turning the pages. It contains good messages about peer pressure, the importance of looking into your own heart and finding the answers, and corporate and environmental responsbility all in a wonderfully hilarious book!
My daughter has read this book several times. Carl Hiaasen's wit in his other books for adults is also in this 1st book for children. It is a main selection of the Children's-Book-Of-The-Month-Club.
This is a great read! I read this book in one day! I couldn't put it down! you'll like it too if you care about wildlife and kids.
Christie G. (My daughter is 8 years old and an avid reader. She LOVED this book and is looking forward to reading more by Carl Hiaasen!
It was a cute book, targetted towards younger readers -- easier to read, shorter, simpler, with kids being the main characters, but had most of the elements that you would expect from Hiaasen (no R-rated activities - including gross violence). I read it in less than a day, and enjoyed it.
