From the publisher:
LIBRO DE HONOR DEL PREMIO NEWBERY Roy Eberhardt ha llegado recientemente, y a pesar suyo, a Florida. "Disney World es cualquier cosa", afirma rotundamente, "comparado con Montana". Su familia se muda constantemente, de modo que Roy ya esta acostumbrado a ser el chico nuevo donde quiera que va. Los bullies de Florida no son muy distintos a los bullies de otras partes. Pero, contra todo pronostico, Roy termina estando en deuda con el corpulento Dana Matherson. Si Dana no hubiera estado hundiendo sus pulgares en las sienes de Roy, y aplastando su cara contra la ventana del autobus escolar, Roy nunca habria visto a aquel chico corriendo por la calle. Y esa fue la primera cosa interesante que Roy vio en Florida. El chico tenia mas o menos la edad de Roy, pero no corria hacia el autobus escolar. No cargaba libros ni mochila y --aqui es cuando la cosa se pone rara-- tampoco llevaba zapatos. Intrigado, Roy sigue el rastro del chico. Durante la persecucion, conoce a otras de las extranas criaturas de Florida: caimanes entrenados para ir al bano, el capataz de una construccion bajo asedio, buhos excavadores, un ecologista rebelde, algunos peces resbaladizos, el siniestro gerente de relaciones publicas de una casa de panqueques, y a varias serpientes venenosas con colas extranamente brillantes. Florida empieza a mejorar... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NEWBERY HONOR BOOK Unfortunately, Roy's first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn't been sinking his thumbs into Roy's temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and-here's the odd part-wore no shoes. Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy's trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails. Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen's Florida.
