Hoot

Hey, if you like animals and saving them, then Hoot by Carl Hiaasen is great for you.

Roy just moved to Florida and his school days are not the best. He always has a bully picking on him on the bus. One day he sees this kid running with no shoes on and he wants to find out why. In Florida they are building a Mother Paula's Pancake House and there are little burrowing owls that live on the land.

One day he meets the running kid and he knows about the owls and he wants to save them along with his step-sister. At the Mother Paula's Pancake House Grand Opening Roy, the running kid, and his step-sister and other people, Roy tries to tell people about the owls. After that Roy, the running kid, and his step-sister are hero's.
