Squirm
Carl Hiaasen
Squirm is a funny, wildly entertaining adventure about the great outdoors and protecting the environment, from New York Times bestselling author Carl Hiaasen, author of modern classic, Hoot.
Some facts about Billy Dickens:
- He once saw a biker swerve across the road in order to run over a snake.
- Later, that motorcycle somehow ended up at the bottom of a canal.
- Billy isn’t the type to let things go.
Some facts about Billy’s family:
- They’ve lived in six different Florida towns because Billy’s mum insists on getting a house near a bald eagle nest.
- Billy’s dad left when he was four and is a total mystery.
- Billy has just found his dad’s address – in Montana.
This summer, Billy will fly across the country, hike a mountain, float a river, dodge a grizzly bear, shoot down a spy drone, save a neighbour’s cat, save an endangered panther, and then try to save his own father.
Reviews
I really liked the beginning of this story when it described that the boy kept a snake in his locker...when he got asked by security to open his locker, I was excited to see what was inside!

It was really good story telling. Really enjoyed it. The story line can be a bit confusing sometimes but mostly understandable. For ages 8 and up.
