Chomp

In Carl Hiaasen's uproarious bestseller Chomp, young Wahoo Cray must navigate the chaotic world of a reality TV show when his animal wrangler father takes a gig on Expedition Survival!. As the show's over-the-top star, Derek Badger, insists on using wild animals for dangerous stunts, Wahoo finds himself juggling wild creatures, a troubled girl named Tuna, and a series of unexpected disasters, including Derek's mysterious disappearance during a storm. Set against the backdrop of the Everglades, this humorous tale offers a satirical look at the absurdities of television while exploring themes of survival and friendship.
