Happy Thursday! #tbt features Carl Hiaasen's MG debut, Hoot. Roy Eberhart isn't happy to move from Montana to Coconut Cove, Florida. He's even less happy when he catches the eye and ire of a bully on the bus en route to his new school. It was while Roy's face was mashed against the window that he spied a barefoot boy running away from the school. He makes a couple of friends and finds himself trying to save burrowing owls from habitat destruction.
Mr. Hiaasen was an established author for adults. Hoot was named a Newbery Honor, a YALSA Best Book, an ALA Notable Book and many state awards. It was adapted for film and released in 2006.
