Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

MEDIA SPECIALIST REVIEW -
This is a lighthearted book with a strong message. Kids will love it, and perhaps learn something at the same time. I find myself recommending Carl Hiaasen often because if the student likes one of his books, they will probably read more...and there are a lot to keep them reading. His books are empowering without being preachy. They show that one person can make a difference and that a lot of the time, there are others who want to do good, but are just waiting for a leader. I love that his leaders are usually children - often with the support of adults. Hiaasen's kids books are a must have for any school library.
