Have you seen the movie?
There are many young adult literature books that have been made into movies. I hope you will always read the book before you go to see the movie. Chances are you will like the book much better than you do the movie.
Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
Roy, who is new to his small Florida community, becomes involved in another boy’s attempt to save a colony of burrowing owls from a proposed construction site.
Guys and girls will enjoy this book. I would classify the book as realistic fiction. The environmental aspects found in the book is very timely. A great read for all!
If you read Hoot and like it, please try Carl Hiaasen’s newest book Flush. In Flush, Noah’s dad has a little problem with anger control. He tried to stop the Coral Queen casino boat’s illegal dumping…by sinking the boat. But his bold protest fizzles: within days the casino is back in business, and Noah’s dad is behind bars and out of action. With their father jailed for sinking the boat, Noah and his younger sister, Abbey, must gather evidence that the owner of this floating casino is emptying his bilge tanks into the protected waters around their Florida Keys home. This book is full of suspense. It was hard to put down.
