This Newbery Honor winner and #1 New York Times bestseller is a beloved modern classic. Hoot features a new kid and his new bully, alligators, some burrowing owls, a renegade eco-avenger, and several extremely poisonous snakes.

Everybody loves Mother Paula's pancakes. Everybody, that is, except the colony of cute but endangered owls that live on the building site of the new restaurant. Can the awkward new kid and his feral friend prank the pancake people out of town? Or is the owls' fate cemented in pancake batter?

Welcome to Carl Hiaasen's Florida—where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder!

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

With the ease of a gifted teacher at story time, Chad Lowe brings to life Carl Hiaasen's first young adult novel, about the people and animals who live in the fictional Florida town of Coconut Cove. The actor gives distinct voices to each of the book’s quirky characters—from adventurous Roy Eberhardt (Trace Middle School’s newest and most curious student) to Leroy "Curly" Branitt, the short-tempered foreman of a construction site threatening an endangered owl colony. A noble and inspiring tale of friendship, environmentalism, facing adversity, and standing up for what’s right, Hoot is also a thrilling, often hilarious adventure.
