Hiaasen, C. (2002). Hoot. New York: Knopf Books.
This book is a story of a young boy named Roy who is new to a Florida neighborhood, Coconut Cove. Roy soon learns of a new development that will be taking the homes of several tiny burrowing owls. Roy teams up with some friends and they set out to take down the developers to save the owls. This story is filled with fun humor, as the author describes the ways that Roy and his friends undermine "the man".
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Not only does it open the reader's eyes to humanitarian issues, it does so with great humor, taking a story that is not un any way funny and lightening it up. This was an easy and enjoyable read that I would recommend to anyone!
