| I
was asked to read 'Hoot' by my Dad who thought I would enjoy reading
it. Dad had read books for adults by Carl Hiaason and had enjoyed
them saying that they were funny. He recommended that I read it,
because it is Carl Hiaason's first book for Children. He was right.
I did enjoy it very much and the reason I liked it so much was
because it was different to any other book I had ever read. It was
about a boy named Roy who moved to Florida from Montana. On his
first day on the school bus he spots a boy running at a 100 miles
per hour, and his hair is straw blonde and wirey with a nut-brown
tan. He does not wear shoes which is weird. But I won't spoil it for
you. The book is quite funny in parts and is sort of like an
adventure story where they try and save the owls from Mother Paula's
Pancake Company. I would give it 8/10 points because I didn't quite
understand what was happening in the middle, otherwise I would have
given it 9/10.
