Wahoo
Cray is the son of a Floridian animal wrangler with a chomped off
thumb to prove it. When Wahoo's dad, Mickey, is contacted by the
production crew for a popular nature thriller reality show,
Expedition Survival!
they travel to the Everglades with the cast and crew. It quickly
becomes apparent that the show is heavily staged, and the star, Derek
Badger, is a fraud. When Derek becomes truly lost in the Everglades
the cast and crew, including Wahoo and Mickey must help to find them.
There is no
shortage of wild and crazy adventures throughout this book, even if
some of the adventures are mildly predictable. Derek Badger can't
stay out of trouble and puts the entire cast and crew, including the
Cray's, survival skills to the test. A great book for readers who
love an adventurous tale, especially those with an affinity for
nature and the wilderness. Best for readers ages 10-14.
