About this audiobook
Newbery Honor-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author Carl Hiaasen—beloved for his modern classics like Hoot and Chomp—delivers a wildly entertaining novel involving snakes, grizzlies, a missing dad, a menacing drone, and more!
Some facts about Billy Dickens:
- He once saw a biker swerve across the road in order to run over a snake.
- Later, that motorcycle somehow ended up at the bottom of a canal.
- Billy isn't the type to let things go.
Some facts about Billy's family:
- They've lived in six different Florida towns because Billy's mom insists on getting a house near a bald eagle nest.
- Billy's dad left when he was four and is a total mystery.
- Billy has just found his dad's address—in Montana.
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.
Carl Hiaasen tells a wickedly funny, slightly twisted tale about families, figuring out what's really important, and knowing when (and when not) to let things go.
