Summary: wut an awesome HOOT
Review: Hey, today I¡¦m going to talk about a great tale about a group of people trying to save owls. This book is called Hoot, Carl Hiaasen is the ingenious author of the book. I give this interesting book four stars. In the following paragraphs I will be giving you an idea of what all this book is about. Its not just about saving owls there is a lot more to the story.
This book is hilariously marvelous, it all starts out with this boy from Montana. He is a new kid named Roy. Roy gets bullied a lot but also tries to stand up. One day he sees this boy running without shoes, he tries to follow him the next day but the bully was beating him up so he would not let him get off. So Roy sticks out his fist and actually breaks the bully¡¦s nose. The boy was to fast for Roy to keep up with and he lost him. That¡¦s not all to that though, the bully wants to get back. Roy gets stopped somehow at a golf course when trying to catch the mysterious kid. He went back to the place he saw him last and finds 3 bags and one had snakes which of course knowing Roy he opened and let them out.
Meanwhile the police of the city that Roy lives in is embarrassed by pranks played by this mischievous boy that nobody knows. There is a girl at school named Beatrice Leep. She goes up to Roy and tells him to mind his own business. It turns out Beatrice was the mysterious boy¡¦s sister and that she gave him a nickname, Mullet Fingers, because he can catch mullets in the lake. Mullet Fingers is the cause of all the pranks played on the police because he wants to save the burrowing owls dens. He has some crazy plans that he comes up with every night and Roy gets involved. Roy could not find out Mullet Finger¡¦s name because Mullet Fingers is actually a runaway kid from some camp that he got sent to. He was living in an old Jo Jo¡¦s ice cream truck in the dump. Read this book to see how Roy, Beatrice, and Mullet Fingers team up against the Mother Paula¡¦s Pancake House construction site to save owls in this laughable comedy. In the end the truth is revealed about paperwork, the police getting embarrassed, and for the whole fraud. Roy finally finds out his name¡K
This is my conclusion to the book review Hoot. The Harry Potter series or The White Mountains series are all good books to read. They both have some similar plots to Hoot. I am a person that loves to read adventurous books just like Hoot.

Summary: Hoot Hoot what's that? Pancakes and owls??
Review: I read "Hoot" which I thought was a good book. At first, I never saw or heard a book called "Hoot" but my friend wanted me to so I did. I never will object a book offer from her now. Hoot is an interesting book. It has lot's of details and fasinating facts. The most weird thing about "Hoot" is this boy sees another boy running without shoes?? I wonder why??? read this and you'll find out!!!!

Summary: From a sixth grader...
Review: WOW! This is a great book that kept me intrigued and wouldn't let me put the book down. If you think about it, the plot is odd, and when I first read the inside cover I thought it was going to be a forceful read. Fortunately, I read it anyway b/c it was a Xmas gift and I didn't want the people who gave it to me to feel bad. :) Anyway, I reluctantly read it, and was surprisingly VERY pleased with the story. From the reviews I've read, it sounds like the children (like me) like it more than the adults. Maybe I'll get my parents' or grandparents' opinions...?

AND FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTO READING THE SHORT AND TO THE POINT REVIEWS, IN A FEW WORDS, IT'S A GREAT BOOK, ESPECIALLY FOR KIDS, AND I'D RECOMMEND IT FOR >ANY< AGE GROUP! :)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Great Read for Middle Schoolers
Review: I'm in middle school and I loved this book. I ALWAYS judge books by their covers and I was right to think that this one would be interesting. It doesn't really foucus on the plot but on the characters. You feel like you're inside the book with the characters and can't wait for the next decision Roy and his buddies will make.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: tight, sharp, honest
Review: Great story about the new boy in town who helps a misfit rescue some burrowing owls from the developers of a pancake chain. Great timing, sharp, sarcastic sense of humor. Good characters and relationships. Tight.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hoot
Review: How would you feel if your house was going to be bulldozed, but you wern't allowed to leave? You would be stuck there while your house got demolished, and you would be demolished with it. This is what one young boy realizes will happen to the burrowing owls living in the construction site of the "Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House" if he does not help them. Roy and Beatrice, students at Trace Middle School, help this mysterious boy, Mullet Fingers, while trying to realize that just because you are doing the right thing, your plan won't always succeed. 'Mullet Fingers' is a young boy who is living in the woods only one block from his home. He got his nickname from his step-sister.
Hoot is a story about young people standing up to adults for someone or something else's rights. Beatrice and Roy help the boy from the woods since all of the adults from the building corporation are lying, and have many secrets. Mullet Fingers has secrets of his own. When weird things start happening, an explanation is needed. Since nobody will admit the truth, it is up to Roy to explain the truth and reveal the answers to the everyne's questions.
The story of Hoot is a wonderful story for anyone who likes animals. It is a great book about young kids standing up to adults, which is really cool. Hoot is a little slow at first, but it really picks up speed. This is an amazing book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hoot, hoot for the home team
Review: I loved the book Hoot because it taught me a lot about different lessons such as sticking with your friends and picking the right ones to stick with. This book was also funny. For example, when Roy mooned Dana and Dana started chasing after him. He couldn't catch up because wasn't fit enough.. Roy's life is sort of like mine in many ways. One way that he is like me is how he is always interested in finding out about instances. These reasons make this story a great read. I loved this book and I hope others will read it.
