Chomp
by Carl Hiaasen
Wahoo Cray lives in a zoo. His father is an animal wrangler, so he’s grown up with all manner of ‘gators, snakes, parrots, rats, monkeys, snappers, and more in his backyard. The critters he can handle. His father is the unpredictable one. When his dad 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 dad from killing Derek Badger, the show’s bone-headed star, before the shoot is over. 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. It’s anyone’s guess who will actually survive “Expedition Survival!”

If the cannibals don’t get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She’s been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He’s wild—a savage—and her only hope of staying alive. In her debut, Veronica Rossi sends readers on an unforgettable adventure set in a world brimming with harshness and beauty.
