Product Description
A book for young readers. It involves new kids, bullies, alligators, eco-warriors, pancakes, and pint-sized owls. A hilarious
Floridian adventure!Amazon.com Review
Roy Eberhardt is the new kid–again. This time around it’s Trace Middle School in humid Coconut Orchard, Florida. But it’s still the same ancient routine: table by himself at lunch, no real friends, and thick-headed bullies like Dana Matherson pushing him around. But if it wasn’t for Dana Matherson mashing his face against the school bus window that one day, he might never have seen the tow-headed running boy. And if he had never seen the running boy, he might never have met tall, tough, tough-beating Beatrice. And if he had never met Beatrice, he might never have learned the burrowing owls living in the lot on the confront of East Oriole Avenue. And if he had never learned the owls, he probably would have missed out on the adventure of a lifetime. Rumor has it that, bullies do serve a greater purpose in the scope of the universe. Because if it wasn’t for Dana Matherson…
In his first novel for a younger audience, Carl Hiaasen (Basket Case, etc.) plunges readers right into the middle of an ecological mystery, made up of endangered miniature owls, the Mother Paula’s All-American Pancake House scheduled to be built over their burrows, and the owls’ unlikely allies–three middle school kids determined to beat the screwed-up adult system. Hiaasen’s tongue is firmly in cheek as he successfully cuts his slapstick sense of humor down to kid-size. Sure to be a hoot, er, hit with middle school mystery fans. (Ages 10 to 15) –Jennifer Hubert

Maybe I’m out of the loop here, but since when is it appropriate to teach children that breaking the law, in this case vandalism, is proper behavior. Maybe that’s what’s incorrect with our society today. It seems, in language with additional librarians and booksellers, that I’m the only one who had a problem with this book in that respect. What happened to the ancient maxim: Two wrongs don’t make a right???

I have not read the book. I just want to comment on the name of the book and the trailer I saw on television for the movie that is now being advertised. I have been a birder for 32+ years and I have seen and heard Burrowing Owl in the wild. They are wonderful animals. It is weird that the main habitats in which they are establish are the fantastic plains of North America and the flat sandy desert islands of the Caribbean. The “save the owls” theme for the tale is very excellent and I don’t have a problem with that. But I immediately knew a name had not done their research when I heard the hoot of a Fantastic Horned Owl dubbed over images of the Burrowing Owl. These two species are not closely related although they are both in the family tree Strigidae. Fantastic Horned Owls are “Eagle Owls” with close relatives in additional parts of the world. The Burrowing Owl is very unique with no close relatives. These owls make a sound that I would probably call a chatter; certainly not a hoot. I reflect it is sad that a name would write a book about saving a species but the leader and his readers didn’t even care enough about the real animal to know what it was REALLY like. They are more unique than the name of the book/movie would imply. I would rather see a real Burrowing Owl in the wild than watch some fictitious falsehoods about it just to feel the warm fuzzies many get from being fed a manufactured public’s view of conservation.

My favorite part in the tale HOOT was when Roy was getting choked by Dana Matherson in school. Roy punched Dana somewhere moist and rubbery.
