Although I'd rather get poked in the eye with a sharp strick than visit south FL in summer, Hiaasen is such a good writer and environmentalist that I'll read anythng he's written. His books for Juveniles informatively speak to the "yewts", and might encourage them into action. The book itself arrived promptly and in "good" condition. It was nice to see some words underlined by previous readers...gave some insight as to what would attract the attention of a young person.

This is a super book for kids of all ages! Our grandson read Hoot as a school assignment. The importance of environmental and wildlife preservation vs. business and political corruption were woven into a very eye opening yet entertaining novel. The dynamics of family issues, peer pressure at school, and sticking to one's personal moral values, makes Hoot into a highly reccommended book. Great balance of suspense,humor, and a very heartwarming story.....I finished this book before my grandson....couldn't put it down!
This is a great read for any age. The environmentalist push of our day will certainly come across in this book. Great for book clubs especially if asking questions that do not correspond with the direction taken with the movie which in a few scenes are different from the book. A thought-provoking plot of the little guy versus the big conglomeration and all the battles that enfold. How can a story of little owls be anything but cute and fun. Hiaasen's certainly proved he can write for any genre. Can't wait to see what other young adult books he prints in the future.
My granddaughter loved this book.
