They are a lot of fun.

Chomp, Scat, Flush, Hoot, Squirm, and Skink No Surrender

So far I have read Chomp and Flush. At least one of them won a Newbury Award.

It is totally because of Hiaasen that I can not resist a book set in South Florida.

If you can find it check out "Naked Came The Manatee", a serial novel written by writers from South Florida. Each one writes a chapter, and pretty much takes the story off on a new wild tangent.
The first chapter was written by Dave Barry. Hiaasen, Edna Buchanan, Elmore Leonard and others also have chapters.
