River of Teeth is by Sarah Gailey. The first in the American Hippo alternate history science fiction series. This is the story of an America that might have been. The American government imported hippos to the swamps of the South to lessen the meat shortage. However, this was a bad plan. Hippos are savage and fierce, and are now feral infesting the swamps and bayous. Winslow Houndstooth and his gang of hippo wranglers set out on a mission for the government to get rid of the feral hippos, and if he can avenge an old wrong in the process, so much the better. A completely entrancing novella.
Ratings: 11th grade - 10 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content) - V (violence).
