Regretfully, Roy makes the well-known bully Dana Matherson his first contact in Florida. On the other hand, Roy may not have seen the sprinting youngster if Dana hadn't been shoving his fingers into his temples and pressing his face into the school bus glass. And here's the strange part: the fleeing youngster didn't have any books with him and didn't have any shoes on when he ran away from the school bus. Feeling something off, Roy decides to follow the youngster. During the hunt, he meets various very venomous snakes with unusually dazzling tails, burrowing owls, a fake-fart champion, and potty-trained alligators.
Without a doubt, Roy has reached Carl Hiaasen's Florida.
