Squirm

Carl Hiaasen's 'Squirm' is a wildly entertaining middle-grade adventure that follows Billy Dickens, a tenacious boy from Florida, as he travels to Montana to find his estranged father. The story is packed with humor, mystery, and environmental themes, as Billy navigates dangerous wildlife, a menacing drone, and the complexities of his own family. It's a tale about perseverance, discovering what truly matters, and the bonds of family, all wrapped in Hiaasen's signature quirky style. Ideal for readers aged 10-14, it offers a fast-paced plot and memorable characters.

"This summer, Billy will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbor's cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father. Carl Hiaasen tells a wickedly funny, slightly twisted tale about families, figuring out what's really important, and knowing when (and when not) to let things go."--Amazon.com.
