Unfortunately, Roy’s first acquaintance in Florida is Dana Matherson, a well-known bully. Then again, if Dana hadn’t been sinking his thumbs into Roy’s temples and mashing his face against the school-bus window, Roy might never have spotted the running boy. And the running boy is intriguing: he was running away from the school bus, carried no books, and–here’s the odd part–wore no shoes. Sensing a mystery, Roy sets himself on the boy’s trail. The chase introduces him to potty-trained alligators, a fake-fart champion, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes with unnaturally sparkling tails.
Roy has most definitely arrived in Carl Hiaasen’s Florida.
From the Hardcover edition.

Comment: As a teacher I find myself reading through many of the books in my library. Rarely do I read the book for any enjoyment....Hoot was different. I could not put it down. My students also enjoyed it. iwould warn therer are some minor curse words and one mooning.

Summary: Hoot on Audio CD
Comment: I'll let you read other reviews to decide if you want to try the book. This review is specifically in reference to the audio book, which is read by actor Chad Lowe. My daughters and I listen to audio books daily, and we've listened to some truly gifted readers. The trouble with Hoot is that Chad Lowe reads with the skill that I expect from a non-professional. He brings absolutely nothing extra to the performance of the book. Very disappointing.

Summary: My 10 year old son really enjoyed this book . . .
Comment: . . . and he is not an avid reader. He turns his nose up to almost everything we suggest for him to read - or he gets through a chapter or two before quitting. Until Hoot, the only books he showed an interest in were the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series. But he zipped through this book, and said he really liked it. He now wants to rent the movie, so it must've really had an effect on him.
