Description
  • Carl Hiaasen's hilarious satiric thrillers for adults combine bizarre characters, madcap antics, caustic wit, and a vivid depiction of Florida as a sultry natural paradise debased by human greed and folly. The violence in his books is not very graphic, with much left to the imagination. Some episodes of extreme cruelty and depravity may be too much for the squeamish, and there is ample sex and profanity. His books for teens feature eco-themes as well, but are very well-suited to younger readers. Start with: Tourist Season (Adults); Hoot (Teens)
  • Having made a name for himself writing adult mysteries with quirky characters, Hiaasen has also penned a handful of offbeat books for middle grade and tween readers that seamlessly blend humor, adventure, and mystery genres, often with an eco-friendly twist. His characters spend a lot of time outdoors interacting with Florida's natural flora and fauna, putting themselves in danger as they investigate corruption. Start with: Chomp
