Squirm

Snakes, grizzlies, a missing dad, a menacing drone... Carl Hiaasen delivers a wickledly funny, slightly subversive tale in his latest New York Times bestseller.

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.
