I read a book called CHOMP, it is by Carl Hiaasen. The book is about a dad and son who are animal wranglers. They keep many animals in their backyard. The son’s name is Wahoo Cray and his dads name is Mickey Cray.

Wahoo and Mickey need money for the bank, so Wahoo looks for jobs, for his dad. Wahoo finds a job for his dad. The job Wahoo finds is a TV job. Mickey can be the animal wrangler of the show. Guess what the TV shows name is, Expedition Survival. Expedition Survival is a “reality” show. It is about a survivalist Derek Badger.

Derek is the no good star of the show. He wants to put the real back in reality. Except he gets everything he wants and is, really annoying. Derek is pampered and doesn’t know anything about surviving in the wild.

Anyways, I made a diorama, and the scene I made is when Derek tries to act all tough and show off. He tries to eat a snake except this snake does not want to be eaten. Wahoo and Mickey are there and so is Tuna which is a girl that you will meet in the book she is the same age as Wahoo and she is really nice. Derek doesn’t get seriously injured but he gets some bites and bruises.

Something that also happens in the book is that Derek gets lost in the Everglades. Everybody looks for him. When Wahoo, Tuna, and Mickey go looking for Derek they run into a lot of trouble and a little search turns into a life or death situation. The Everglades is in Miami.

Mickey doesn’t like to put up with Derek’s nonsense. Mickey isn’t a very good listener. On the other hand Wahoo listens he has to keep his dad from doing anything to Derek. Wahoo is really responsible, but he is also really brave. Tuna is really kind so kind sometimes it annoys me. Her father is always doing bad things and she does not get mad at him, which I find really annoying. Wahoo’s mom is in China trying to make money. Wahoo’s older sister is at school learning to be a lawyer. This is an okay book, I would rate it 3 stars and 3/10.
