Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

Hoot, by Carl Hiassen, is about a boy, Roy Eberhardt, who moves to Florida.  When he was being bullied on the bus, he sees a boy running away from the bus with no shoes, no books or no book bag.  He was very curious.  After 3 days of looking for the no shoed boy, he finally sees the boy running past the bus, so he runs and chases after the boy.  He chased the boy to a campsite where he sees a bag.  It looks like it is full of tan ropes, but when he pours the bag out it was full of cottonmouths with sparking tails.  They call the boy, Mullet Finger, because he can catch a mullet fish in his hands.  Mullet Finger and Roy get into a lot trouble through out the book.

Then a man named Officer Delino enters the story  He meets a bald man named Curly.  Curly is the site manager for Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House.   Curly reports a vandalism on his construction site.  Someone has moved the property line stakes.  This caused construction to be stooped.   Office Delino learns there are burrowing owls living in the construction site.  

What do all these things have in common?  I suggest you read this awesome book and find out.
