Book Synopsis
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.
A fun romp that will keep readers hooked. --The New York Times
Review Quotes
Humorous, self-deprecating narration and convoluted exploits will keep pages turning till the satisfying close. --Kirkus Reviews
Hiaasen's latest is richly steeped in the natural world and all the peril it contains, from rattlers to grizzlies. Still, what may be most satisfying for readers are the personal connections Billy makes, whether it's getting to know his new stepsister or making peace with his dad. --Booklist
Hiaasen's ecological passion shows no sign of abatement, and neither does his faith in kid resourcefulness and family resilience. --Bulletin
An entertaining, pulse-pounding story.-- The Horn Book Magazine
Terrific characters and ingenious, fast-paced storytelling. --The Atlanta Journal Constitution
Hilarious, heartfelt and delightfully surprising. --The Times Herald
