"Roy Eberhardt has recently , and
unhappily, arrived in Florida. 'Disney World is an armpit,' he
states flatly. 'compared to Montana.' "
"Roy's familly moves a lot, so he's
use to the new-kid drill. Florida bullies are pretty much like
bullies everywhere. But Roy finds himself oddly indebted to the
hulking Dana Matherson. If Dana hadn't been sinking his thumbs
into Roy's temples and mashing his face against the school-bus
window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the
running boy is the first interesting thing Roy's seen in Florida."
"The boy was about Roy's age, but
he was running away from the school bus. He had notbooks, no
backpack, and, here's the odd part, no shoes."
"Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself
on the boy's trail. The chase will introduce him to some other
intriguing Floridian creatures: potty-trained alligators,
a beleagured construction foreman, some burrowing
owls, a fake-fart champion, a renegade eco-avenger, some
slipper fish, a sinsister pancake PR man, and several extrremely
poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails."
"Life in Florida is looking up."
