Hoot (2002), Carl Hiaasen

[January, 2011]
Roy just moved to Florida, and he hates it.  On the way to his first day of school, he get's beat up by a meat-head bully.  Urgh.  Nothing's going his way.  He did notice an unusual sight though - a boy, about his age, running by the bus stop...in bare feet!  Who was that boy?  And why was he barefoot?

Roy eventually realizes that the building site of the new "Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House" is actually on top of the home of state-protected burrowing owls.  Roy, Beatrice, and that mystery boy set out to save the owls from the bulldozers.  

I really enjoyed Hoot - I think you'll get a hoot out of it!  (Ah!  What a terrible joke!)
