Summary Of Hoot By Carl Hiaasen

This summer I read lots of novels, but none of them stood out as much as Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen. This realistic fiction novel is about a young boy named Roy. He lived in the mountains of Montana until his father's job forced him to move to Coconut cove, Florida. At first things are tough. He gets called names and gets bullied, he wishes that he was still in Montana. But suddenly on the bus while Roy is getting bullied he notices this blonde haired boy running on beside the bus, he get interested and decides to take action the next day… Roy finds that “Mullet Fingers” is a boy on a mission. His mission is to save owls that are threatened to be killed because their home is placed underground right where a Aunt Paula Pancakes is yet to be built.

When Roy hears that the owls are in danger he decides to take action and help “Mullet Fingers.” They do anything in their power to defend the owls and stop the bulldozing. In their way there is attack dogs, spy cameras and a police officer named Officer Delinko. Will Roy and Mullet fingers find way to to save the owls or will it be too late?

I recommend this book to readers of all ages and to people looking for a mystery series. As you can see from above, this book is loaded with action and excitement. Furthermore Hoot won a Newbery Honor Award, plenty of reasons to read this book. The author wrote with a sense of pride that made me keep reading.

This was definitely my favorite book I have ever read and I would read it again in a blink of an eye. I know you will enjoy this book to. It's most certainly a hoot and you won't forget it!
