This Newbery Honor-winning, hilarious Floridian adventure involves new kids, bullies, alligators, eco-warriors, pancakes, pint-sized owls, and more. A New York Times bestseller!

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?

“A wonderful tour de-force.” —The Boston Globe

“A rollicking, righteous story.” —The Miami Herald

“Yes, it is a hoot.”—The Washington Post

Editorial Reviews

Review

“It seems unlikely that the master of noir-tinged, surrealistic black humor would write a novel for young readers. And yet, there has always been something delightfully juvenile about Hiaasen’s imagination; beneath the bent cynicism lurks a distinctly 12-year-old cackle. In this thoroughly engaging tale of how middle schooler Roy Eberhardt, new kid in Coconut Cove, learns to love South Florida, Hiaasen lets his inner kid run rampant, both the subversive side that loves to see grown-ups make fools of themselves and the righteously indignant side, appalled at the mess being made of our planet. The story is full of offbeat humor, buffoonish yet charming supporting characters, and genuinely touching scenes of children enjoying the wildness of nature. He deserves a warm welcome into children’s publishing.”—Booklist

From the Inside Flap

A book for young readers. It involves new kids, bullies, alligators, eco-warriors, pancakes, and pint-sized owls. A hilarious
Floridian adventure!

Great book!

March 18, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Highly recommend these books for tweens. We have all that he wrote for kids, hoping for more. There might be minor cuss words-depends on how you feel. I read these aloud to my son, we both enjoy them. It's always interesting to read books based on areas you are familiar with.

What a fun book. Great literature for avid upper elementary and middle school readers. Even a fun and quick read for adults. Well written mystery with plenty of positive messages for young people. Highly recommend this book.

Originally i picked up "Razor Girl" and thoroughly enjoyed it. So I ordered his four best sellers.
I should have been a bit more diligent. The four I ordered [SCAT, CHOMP, HOOT and FLUSH] are all "young adult books".
I have now read all four and they were very good. I am now passing them on to my grand children. Good plots and characters. Great messages and all very good reads.

Another Great Read From Hiassen!

October 26, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I absolutely love Carl Hiaasen! My daughter had to read it for class and really enjoyed it. I'd already read it and we often check out his books on CD for family trips. Hoot features an unlikely trio of kids caught up in the struggle to preserve wildlife from uncaring corporate greed while dealing with the normal school life of bullies and homework. Unlike many young adult books, Hiassen's adults are not one dimensional or stereotypical idiots or evil masterminds. There are good and bad and many shades in between and he shows that adults have conflicting motivations just like everyone else. The underlying theme is love of nature and that kids can make a difference. A wonderful read!

I loved this book

February 1, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I loved this book. I was looking for an easy, funny, sweet story, after having read far too many Holocaust books. This is a day read and worth every moment of your time. If this is a kid's book, than remember, we are all kids at heart.

Excellent audio book read by Chad Lowe, Rob's brother. He does a great job of adding character to the reading. I used this in my 6th grade class and they enjoyed it. Overall, well worth the price.

What a Hoot!!!

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Carl Hiaassen's young adult novels are just as entertaining as his adult novels. This novel contains a character that is basically a middle school aged Skink. Great and excellent storyline.

Okay

The book was okay, definitely not as funny as chomp. The plot was okay I guess, but I was very much disappointed by the overall book.
