Hiassen's first novel for young readers.
From the publishers:
"Roy Eberhardt is recently arrived in Florida. ‘Disney World is an armpit compared to Montana’, he announces. Roy’s family moves a lot so he’s used to the new-kid drill – and to bullies like Dana Matherson. And anyway, it’s because of Dana that Roy gets to see the mysterious running boy – who runs away from the school bus and who has no books, no backpack and, most oddly, no shoes.
Sensing a mystery Roy starts to trail the mystery runner – a chase that will introduce him to many weird Floridian creatures: potty-trained alligators, some cute burrowing owls, a fake-fart champion, a sinister pancake PR man and some snakes with sparkly tails…Suddenly life in Florida is looking up!"

Added to my Bookmooch inventory.
I received this book yesterday through Bookmooch. Thanks again for sending it to me, okyrhoe. It has to go on Mt. TBR for a while, but since I'm on a Carl Hiaasen reading binge at the moment, I'm sure it won't stay there for long. ;)
Macht sich in den nächsten Tagen als ray-it-forward auf den Weg zu Kikoyu.
Angekommen. Danke!
