Hoot by: Carl Hiassen


 If there are a bunch of owl dens where a pancake house is going to be constructed, but the project will continue.  Well, this is what happens after in the early or mid-2000’s in Coconut, Florida, Roy Eberhardt meets a mysterious, shoeless adolescent nicknamed Mullet Fingers, and finds out about this situation.  Mullet Fingers has escaped society to not get sent to a juvenile detention center again, or not live with his family that he despises.  Now, Roy, Mullet Fingers, and Mullet Finger’s stepsister have to stop this building project and protect Mullet Fingers from being discovered.
            I like Roy Eberhardt because he is a kind adolescent. He knows what is right and what is not.  Also, I like how he is not willing to tell on Mullet Fingers even though he breaks the law, but he is doing what is right for the owls.  Roy does not enjoy Florida, and he wishes that he was back in Montana.  This is the latest place that he has moved, so he does not have many acquaintances at school. 
I would recommend this book for anyone who is 10 to fifteen years of age because all of the main characters are around that age, so the readers can relate to them, and Hoot is not a book that is just a book that is for girls or guys.  If you want to find out if the owls can be rescued and if Mullet Fingers will remain hidden, then you have to read Carl Hiassen’s Hoot.
