Hoot 
Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen's Florida. "From the Hardcover edition."
I really liked this book. I read it last year and like it so I read it again, and I liked it the same.
About what you would expect from a cheesy, feel-good YA novel. I probably would have rated it higher if I was a teen (some YA translates well to adults, not really so much here). But, it wasn't bad and I can definitely see myself recommending it to my kids when they are teenagers.

I love owls, and I love middle grade books that inspire, and although Ive only read a few of his books, I am a fan of Carl Hiaasen, too. A winning combination, and Im excited to be sharing it with a few of my students for their Battle of the Books competitions.
Laugh out loud and endearing little tale.World: I love Hiassen and this is my first time reading his young adult books and I was surprised that we still get the weird and surreal setting that is Florida for this book. Its over the top the bad are really bad, the good are really good and the strange are just really strange, I like it. I love how his world is a bit twisted and out of focus and makes for such a lush playground for the story to play out in. This is familiar territory for Hiaasen as
Not what you expect from Carl Hiaasen. None of his usual cast of characters. Maybe written for young teens but nevertheless well done. I have to say I enjoyed it. No vulgarity, sex and no one got put six feet under. Just plain old good stuff.

Narrative Concering Books Hoot
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.

I enjoyed the book hoot, because of the plot, the setting and mostly the characters. I can related to the main character Roy on some aspects. First of all, we both like to stay indoors and read a good book and when Roy also mentioned in the book that Florida is really flat so he enjoys to go biking like I do. What really makes me feel like I connect with him is that we are both curious. When Roy saw a boy running bare foot with no backpack on a school day, he made a impulsive decision to hit hisI really liked this book.
