It's for children

Funny and interesting.

Great to be able to share a book of Hiaasen's with my kids. They loved it!

Although aimed at a younger audience, Carl Hiaasen delivers another of his dead-on Floridian satires that his older fans should find pretty irresistible, as well. (I did.) Apparently, the 2006 film adaptation of this 2006 Newbery Honor Book is somewhat wide of the mark, but the book will surely continue to win converts to the clever Carl. (8/6/08)
