Carl Hiaasen
Passionate and willful Honey Santana is taking rude, gullible telemarketer Boyd Shreave and his less than enthusiastic mistress, Eugenie Fonda, into the mangroves of Florida’s Ten Thousand Islands for a gentle lesson in humility. What Honey doesn’t know is that she’s being followed by her obsessed former employer, Piejack, and her still-smitten ex-husband, Perry, with their protective and wise-beyond-his-years twelve-year-old son, Fry. And when they all arrive on Dismal Key, they don’t know the island is occupied by Sammy Tigertail, a failed alligator wrestler trying like hell to be left alone despite the Florida State coed clinging to his side. South Florida has never been quite so hilarious as it is in this outrageous tale of one woman’s single-handed quest to eradicate greed and enforce civility in her corner of the Sunshine State.

"As a Floridian, I loved this. I always find it fun to read books set in places you are familiar with. Hiaasin is hilarious. In true form, Nature Girl is ridiculous and entertaining. Great balance between laughing out loud on every page but also finding a rewarding experience through the plot and character development "

"Absolutely ridiculous, in a good way. Reminiscent of Vonnegut. Readable and fun."

"Carl Hiaasen does it again. He takes a great satirical look at several American characters i.e. the phone solicitor, the religious fanatic.... He'a always a fast, funny read."
