loving this list & loved alligator tears.
carl hiaasen was my intro to anything critical of fl politics/corruption/environmental destruction as a kid 💚🐊🍊
Thanks!! Awh yeah, I can add Hoot. I’m not familiar with any of his other books though. Are there others you were thinking of?
of his kid’s books, Hoot (habitat protection/corrupt developers), Flush (water pollution/illegal dumping), Scat (endangered species/poachers) are all really good ones.
I absolutely love this list and it's tempting me to make one for Louisiana because also FUUUUUUUUUUUCK MAGA MIKE.
