I need to remember that these are children's books and that the target is for the younger age group, however, with that being said, Harry Potter, Because of Winn Dixie, Percy Jackson are also children's books and I LOVE them, so why not Hoot so much? Maybe I wanted more character development. Generally I want the character of the book to become my best friend and I want to miss that character when I am finished reading the book. I did not develop a connection to any of the characters and since it was a Newberry Award Winning Book, maybe I had higher expectations. Not that the book was horrible or bad, I did like the story, about a boy who is out of place in a new city, tries to fit in by standing up for what he believes in. I think I just wanted more.
