Tuna, Wahoo, Chomp Oh My


Carl Hiaasen does a great job of mixing humor and serious topics in a nonthreatening way. The novel, Chomp, does not stray away from this format. Filled with round characters like Wahoo and Tuna, this novel will take you on a wild ride through the Florida Everglades. This is a refreshing read and I actually was able to chuckle several times while reading. Child abuse and alcoholism is mentioned and even explored throughout the novel. This isn’t off-putting and the issue is approached in a way that is appropriate for kids.
