 *  Review by: McKenna **


 * __Chomp__  by Carl Hiaasen is truly an amazing book to read. It doesn’t at first seem like a great book, but once you read it you can’t stop. This children/young adult book has a number of different characters that are let loose and fun, Wahoo and Mickey really make this book come to life. In addition, the plot is magnificent. Having a zoo in your backyard can be hard work, but is very interesting. Overall, __Chomp__  is a great, very humorous and creative book, it has also won many awards, it is really a good book to read. **


 * Without a doubt, Wahoo is a very brave and responsible character. When Wahoo’s dad, Mickey, got a concussion, that left Wahoo all alone to take care of their zoo. The zoo is a big responsibility, especially for Wahoo. That zoo is a huge part in Mickey’s and Wahoo’s life. Wahoo is good at taking care of all of the animals, and has been doing it for a while, so he knows what he is doing. To conclude, Wahoo is very important and trustworthy, for his family and his animals. **


 * To carry on, the plot has lots of adventure and lots of action. It is said to be “ a mix of fact, fun, danger, and outrages characters!” said by Debra W. on kids weekly. The everglades and the backyard zoo give the book an outside and attention grabbing feature. Also, the plot can make things seem like quite a mess. There are a ton of dangerous animals countered in the everglades. Wahoo and Mickey get a job to help and work with Derek Badger, tv survivalist, and they have to help him survive the deadly animals and his surroundings. The everglades is a fun plot to connect with and read about, especially with what is happening on and off set. To sum up, the plot is a very tremendous part of this book. **


 * I also have some very interesting information about the book and its author. The book itself has won multiple awards. The Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children’s Book Award, Agatha Award For Best Young Adult/ Children’s Fiction, Dily’s Award, Newberry Honor, and many more! A few of Carl Hiaasen’s, other children/young adult books are __HOOT, FLUSH,__ and __SCAT.__ Carl Hiaasen also is the author of many adult books for older readers. **
