Mrs. Neufeld says we should read the back cover....
You should ALWAYS listen to Mrs. Neufeld!
Roy Eberhardt is used to the new-kid drill. His family has lived all over, and Florida bullies are pretty much like bullies everywhere. But Roy finds himself oddly indebted to Dana Matherson. If Dana hadn't been 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.
He was running away from the school bus. He had no books, no backpack and no shoes.
Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boys trail. The chase will introduce him to some other intriquing Floridian creatures: potty-trained alligators, a sinister pancake PR man, some burrowing owls, a fake-fart champion, a rengade eco-avenger, and several poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails.
Life in Florida is looking up!
What a great title for a book!!
