Hoot

Environmental mystery with quirky humor and owls.

If you enjoy a blend of laughter with a cause, "Hoot" would be up your alley. The adventures of an oddball trio standing up against corporate expansion to save endearing owls is engrossing and touching. Carl Hiaasen's unique style marries environmental activism with offbeat characters for a read that's as heartwarming as it is humorous.

Description

Unfortunately, Roy’s first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn’t been sinking his thumbs into Roy’s temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and–here’s the odd part–wore no shoes. Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy’s trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails. Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen’s Florida.
