Hoot
4 HOOTS for this book!
Hoot
Roy gets drawn in to the events almost without choice (reactive rather than proactive). But when he does make a choice, his efforts yield big results. I especially like the speech he made to his class.
Hoot
Roy, who just moved to Florida saw a guy running bear foot. It turns out he is trying to stop people from building a pancake place on top of owls. Roy decides to join him and stop the people from killing baby owls.
Let's give a hoot for Hoot!
This touching story is what critics call "amazing" "another hit by Hiaasen" but what I call it is touching. Carl Hiaasen really knows what he's doing when it comes to mystery books...especially for kids. I especially love it because it shows a knew side of bravery you hardly see these days! You just HAVE to read the book. Once you're done, you'll know what I mean. So give a hoot for HOOT!
