I just finished a book called "Chomp" by Carl Hiaasen. This book has 290 pages of excellence. Carl has written 4 books (there are more adult books too) , Hoot, Flush, Scat, and of course Chomp (none of them are in a series but they are all excellent books). Chomp starts out in Florida near the everglades in a house where Mickey Cray, Mrs Cray and Wahoo Cray live. Since they are nearly broke Mrs Cray had to go to all the way to China to teach Chinese to ambassadors. Mickey is a professional animal wrangler with his son as a personal helper (sort of like a zoo keeper) who loves animals and will do anything to protect them. One day a Derek Badger (a "real" survivor) is loking for animal wranglers. He wants to make a everglades scene for his viewers. Then when he gets beat up by the worlds laziest alligator he gets a crazy idea that Mickey Cray does not like....
