Squirm by Carl Hiaasen (2018) Alfred A Knopf (8/8)

This is a story about a boy in Florida who likes snakes. It’s a story about the boy’s mother who likes to watch nesting bald eagles.  It’s about his sister who is tired of moving every time the bald eagles leave their nests.  It’s about finding out where his father lives (Montana) and finding a way to try to visit.  It’s also about the father who likes to make everyone think he works for the government on a secret undercover capacity, when he really is independently wealthy and spends his time tracking-down hunters who are trying to kill endangered animals.  And it’s about the father’s new native American (Flathead) family.  And of course, it’s about growing-up.
