I started this book a while ago. Most of my reading happens while riding the train. Since I don’t ride the train as often as I once did, my reading has slowed down. However, I’ve recently been making an effort to read more at home, and I’ve also been riding the train a bit more.
Wrecker follows a young man living in Florida who, like many of Carl Hiaasen’s protagonists, cares deeply about his home state and wants to protect it from wrongdoing. As this book is aimed at children, it is less intense than Hiaasen’s usual work. However, it offers a lighter take on his storytelling and is still quite enjoyable.
Wrecker becomes involved with a group of smugglers. Once he understands their plans, he decides to stop them and put an end to their operation.
In typical Hiaasen style, the book includes plenty of humorous moments, though it’s not as wild as Sick Puppy, for example. Since this is part of his children’s series, the content is toned down, but that doesn’t mean adults can’t enjoy it. After all, Harry Potter is technically a children’s series, yet many of its readers are adults like myself.
