Book thirty-nine: Chomp by Carl Hiaasen

This book opens with a dead iguana falling on a guy's head. It might have been a touch on the advanced side for Hen's age but he hung with it and we had some good laughs. The story centers on a boy named Wahoo. His father, injured by the dead iguana, is a wildlife wrangler. There is a survivalist t.v. star named Derek Badger, a girl named Tuna, and a gator named Alice. Did I mention Tuna's drunk father? When Badger gets bit on the tongue by a mastiff bat, his fevered brain makes him think he's turning into a vampire. And when Tuna's father shows up with a gun, well, someone is held hostage, there's an airboat crash, and someone gets shot. Dang. It's actually an action-packed book!
