You can never have enough Hiaasen! This box set includes SIX sharp-witted novels from the Newbery Honor winner and #1 New York Times bestseller.

In Carl Hiaasen's wild adventure stories, kids fight to protect animals and wild spaces from crooked developers, poachers, and dirty dealers of every stripe. And you know with kids on the case, the bad guys will get what's coming to them in deliciously inventive ways.

This collectible boxed set includes six Hiaasen bestsellers:

Hoot: Everybody loves Mother Paula's pancakes. Everybody, that is, except the cute but endangered owls that live on the building site of the new restaurant. Can two kids flip the script and save the owls? 

Flush: The Coral Queen casino boat is treating the ocean like a toilet bowl, so Noah's dad decides to sink it. Now Dad's in the clink, the boat's back in business, and only Noah can flush the truth out into the open.

Scat: The most terrifying teacher in school is missing in the Everglades, and it's up to Nick and Marta to find her. But first they'll have to reckon with a junior arsonist, a wannabe Texas oilman, and a ticked-off Florida panther. 

Chomp: When Wahoo Cray's dad--a professional animal wrangler--takes a job with a reality-TV survival show, Wahoo knows he'll have to do a bit of wrangling himself to keep his father from killing the show's inept and egotistical star. 

Squirm: This summer, Billy will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float on a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbor's cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.

Wrecker: In this Key West caper, a boy who calls himself Wrecker gets tangled up with some shifty smugglers. Can one clever kid outwit a gang of crooks? Oh yes!

Recommended for young readers ages 10 years and up.

Reviews

Praise for Hoot:

“It seems unlikely that the master of noir-tinged, surrealistic black humor would write a novel for young readers. And yet, there has always been something delightfully juvenile about Hiaasen’s imagination; beneath the bent cynicism lurks a distinctly 12-year-old cackle. In this thoroughly engaging tale of how middle schooler Roy Eberhardt, new kid in Coconut Cove, learns to love South Florida, Hiaasen lets his inner kid run rampant, both the subversive side that loves to see grown-ups make fools of themselves and the righteously indignant side, appalled at the mess being made of our planet. The story is full of offbeat humor, buffoonish yet charming supporting characters, and genuinely touching scenes of children enjoying the wildness of nature. He deserves a warm welcome into children’s publishing.”—Booklist

“A wonderful tour-de-force.”—The Boston Globe

“A rollicking, righteous story.”—The Miami Herald

“You don’t have to be a young adult to enjoy it.”—The New York Times Book Review

“Yes, it is a hoot.”—The Washington Post Book World
