Wrecker -- Carl Hiaasen

<b>Wrecker needs to deal with smugglers, grave robbers, and pooping iguanas--just as soon as he finishes Zoom school. Another wild adventure in Carl Hiaasen's Florida, now in paperback!</b> <p/>Valdez Jones VIII calls himself Wrecker because his great-great-great-great-great-grandfather salvaged shipwrecks for a living. <p/>So is it destiny, irony, or just bad luck when Wrecker comes across a speedboat that has run hard aground on a sand flat? The men in the boat don't want Wrecker to call for help--in fact, they'll pay him to forget he ever saw them. <p/>Wrecker would be happy to forget, but he keeps seeing these men all over Key West--at the marina, in the cemetery, even right outside his own door. And now they want more than his silence--they want a lookout. <p/>He'll have to dive deep into their shady dealings to figure out a way to escape <i>this</i> tangled net. . . .<br><br><b>Author:</b> Carl Hiaasen<br><b>Publisher:</b> Yearling Books<br><b>Published:</b> 08/27/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.51lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.63h x 5.19w x 0.75d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780593376324<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5.3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 10<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>522323 / Wrecker<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>CARL HIAASEN was born and raised in Florida, where he still lives.
