When he is suspended from the bus for fighting, he finds time to bike to a construction site where he has seen a "running boy." The mysterious boy can catch mullet bare-handed, charm snakes, and seems to be the one who has been vandalizing the construction site of a future Mother Paula's Pancake House. The problem is that the boy discovered burrowing owls that live on the property, and bulldozing for construction would kill the owls. Roy meets "Mullet Fingers's" sister, and the three of them come up with a plan to stop comstruction.

I thought the speech Roy gave his class for current events was the best part, other than when the site was closed and the owls would be allowed to live. Roy managed to gain the interest of his classmates and others, to demonstrate against buliding. The ground breaking ceremony revealed not only the owls, but shady dealing that halted the project .

Roy must decide whether or not to join in the effort.

Hoot is the story of a young boy who has to learn how to go about standing up for something he believes in, without compromising his other beliefs. It's very intelligently written by Carl Hiaasen. The book doesn't underestimate its own readership, as so many young adult novels do, in tone, language, or content. Not only does it provide valuable lessons about the environment, one's own morals, and friendship, but it also manages to be entertaining and hilarious, even to an adult reader! ( )

The book "Hoot" is an inspiring book that teaches you to help others and fight for what you think is right.
