Overview
<b>A wildly entertaining adventure involving snakes, grizzlies, a menacing drone, a missing father, and the kid determined to find him. In classic Hiaasen fashion, the animals here are wild, and the people are wilder!<br></b><br><i> Some facts about Billy Dickens:</i><br> * He once saw a biker swerve across the road in order to run over a snake.<br> * Later, that motorcycle somehow ended up at the bottom of a canal.<br> * Billy isn't the type to let things go.<br><i> Some facts about Billy's family:</i><br> * They've lived in six different Florida towns because Billy's mom insists on getting a house near a bald eagle nest.<br> * Billy's dad left when he was four and is a total mystery.<br> * Billy has just found his dad's address--in Montana.<br><br> 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.<br><br> "A fun romp that will keep readers hooked." —<i>The New York Times</i>
