Book Reviews of Hoot
Book Review: Hoot
Summary: 4 Stars
The book I just read is called Hoot by Carl Hiaason. The main conflict in the story is Mother Paula Pancake House wants to build their new pancake house on the land where a community of owls live. The kids of Coconut Cove, Florida, Roy Eberhardt, a 12 year old boy, and his friends Beatrice Leep and Mullet Fingers do many tricks to save the owls.
This was a very exciting book to read because when I got to the end of each chapter I needed to read the next chapter to find out what was going to happen next. I thought the main conflict was interesting because I could see what kids my age could do when they put their mind to something. The characters in this story seem very realistic because they would do something that any person could do in their lives. For example, Roy was always there when his friends needed him. I really enjoyed the end of the book because it was a very exciting and happy ending. I was glad to see that the kids made a difference.
What I think what was most exciting about this book was how the author made his characters and their moods. One person could be wild while the other person was in the worst mood. The author's voice changed through out the book. He could sound light as a feather or as dark as a giant. Another thing I thought was wonderful about the author was when he went from scene to scene and made it sharp so you could remember everything. The vocabulary used was very descriptive so I could just picture everything in its place.
I would give this book an A. I really cared about what Roy and his friends were doing to save the owls. It was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to any of my friends that like to read books about how kids follow their dreams and accomplish something big.
I am glad I read this book. I like seeing someone follow their dreams and accomplishing them. I too would like to do this. I am planning to collect and save money to help a needy kid go to overnight camp. I love camp and I want to give that gift to someone else.

I thought the book Hoot was very good, it was about three teenagers daring to do something that normally kids would never dream of doing, saving little owles and there home from becoming a MaMa's Pancack house. this book is not only inspiring but it also is full of adventure, friendship, betrail, and coming together to help one another.

The book review of Hoot by: Carl Hiaasen
This book is meant for kids or adults that care for the wild. This book is about saving owls from the Mother Paula Pancake House construction site and standing up to a school bully.
The theme is courage to stand up to a school bully and save the owls. I also think it deals with friendship because one character makes new friends.
The characters are Roy Eberhardt who has moved from place to place; Dana Matherson the school bully; Beatrice Leep a soccer player with a bad attitude; and Mullet fingers Beatrice's brother. Dana and Beatrice are mean to Roy. If Dana had not shoved Roy's face up against the window Roy would not have seen the running boy (Mullet Fingers).
The setting is in Coconut Cove, Florida. Why I think this is the setting is because that is what Roy had said. The book also takes place at the construction site and school building
Will Roy, Beatrice, and Mullet Fingers be caught? Will they save the owls? Is Roy going to be beaten up by Dana? Only way to find out is by reading the book.
