If you like Carl Hiaasen's fiction he writes for adults, you very well might like this YA book he wrote, too. It has a similar setting, similar environmental theme, similar but less lethal characters, and similar but lower stakes.

My 11-year-old and I just finished reading Hoot together, and we loved it! Carl Hiaasen has just the right combination of humor, pranks, and quirky characters, plus a compelling mission and good triumphing over greed. I'd recommend this one for middle-school-aged kids -- and adults too. Lots of fun.

I love reading books about where I live (Florida). Oddly, I’d never heard of a burrowing owl, either. This book is great for older elementary school readers... and adults who are still children at heart. Some of the themes of the book are inclusion/bullying, conservation, and family.

It’s just plane sweet and a great peak into the early 2000s, learning to read, and a world before smart everything. A book any gender could read.
