Carl Hiaasen continues to deliver top-notch environmental thrillers. Billy lives with his mom and sister in, where else?, Florida. His father took off when he was young and his mother moves the family frequently because she wants to always live in close proximity to an active eagle nest. Billy loves eagles too and he also has an affinity for snakes. He discovers that his father is living in Montana and hatches a plan to reconnect. This funny and at times improbable tale will prove popular with middle school students who have enjoyed Hiassen’s earlier books (Hoot, Flush).

Recommended for Cream of the Crop.
