But Hiaasen never lets the formula get in his way the story is full of offbeat humor, buffoonish yet charming supporting characters, and genuinely touching scenes of children enjoying the wildness of nature. See more HOOT By Carl Hiaasen BRAND NEW Share This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available. ![]() When Roy teams up with some classic children’s lit outsiders to save the home of some tiny burrowing owls, the stage is set for a confrontation between right-thinking kids and slow-witted, wrongheaded civic boosters. 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. And, yet, there has always been something delightfully juvenile about Hiaasen’s imagination beneath the bent cynicism lurks a distinctly 12-year-old cackle. ![]() It seems unlikely that the master of noir-tinged, surrealistic black humor would write a novel for young readers. ![]()
