Hoot Carl Hiassen September 2002 ISBN: 0375821813 Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf

Carl Hiaasen returns with a new novel for teenage readers called Hoot. As always this novel is wonderful Florida fiction and can be enjoyed by adults as well. Three teenagers take on a restaurant chain whose new building will destroy rare owls. Alligators, poisonous snakes, school bullies, politicians and outrageous characters are all part of this fine new book. Hiaasen continues to be one of the finest and funniest novelists today. Highly Recommended.
