In “Hoot”, Carl Hiaasen creates a very fascinating and interesting character named Roy. One day, Roy see’s a boy running with no shoes, so he decides to follow him. Roy finds out that the future site of the Mother Paula’s All American Pancake House is going to be built over a bunch of burrowing owls homes.

The book “Hoot” is a funny and exciting book. The genre of the book “Hoot” is realistic fiction because the events that happen in the book could really happen in real life. For example, people protest all the time about stuff they don’t approve of what that person or group of people is doing. Another example is that there are really bullies out there that are mean and aggressive towards other kids. This book is about when a boy named Roy Eberhardt moves to Coconut Cove, Florida. He finds out that it is full of adventure. Roy becomes the target of a bully called Dana Matherson at Trace Middle School. But Roy is more concerned about what’s going to happens to the running boy and who is vandalizing the Mother Paula’s Construction site. The running boy found out that there are burrowing owl dens where the birds are living. So he, Beatrice, and Roy do everything they possibly can to make sure they save those owls. The main characters in this book are Roy, who helps mullet fingers, Beatrice, who is helping Roy, The running boy (mullet fingers), who is protesting against the owls, Dana, who is the school bully, Officer Delinko, who is the patrol man on duty, and finally Curly, who is the supervisor of the Mother Paula’s Construction site. My opinion of the book is that it is great, enjoyable, fun and full of adventure that will make you want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes funny, and adventure filled books because this book is full of surprises that u might not expect. When u read Hoot u will find out all the surprises and what really happens to the birds.
My opinion of HOOT is that it is a brilliantly planed out book. I found that out when I couldn’t put the book down. This book is about a boy named Roy Eberhart who now lives in the Everglades. He gets bullied by Dana Matherson who parents; well . . . let’s just say they weren’t much of em’. Roy see’s a strange boy running one day, and he turns out to be one of his greatest friends, along with Beatrice, who’s the stepbrother of the running boy, Mullet Fingers. Together, they try to stop the mother Paula’s construction on an owl habitat, but try to get stoped by cops, construction workers, and other people too! The genre of HOOT is realistic fiction because the owls are real, people do do construction on places where wildlife lives, they destroy their natural habitats, and people do protest. That and none of the events that happened in this book actually happened in real life. The main characters in this book are: Roy Eberhart, Dana Matherson, Beatrice, Mullet Fingers, Officer Delinko, and Officer Muckle, Roy’s parents, and Garret. I recommend this book tob people all ages, and people who enjoy adventure, suspense, and comedy. So many questions will flow through your mind when you read this book. Who’s Mullet Fingers? Why does Dana hate Roy? Will they save the owls? Find out in Hoot.
The book Hoot is based on a story that could possibly happen in real life that’s why it’s a realistic fiction. Its based on a boy named Roy Eberhardt. On his first day of school he gets beat up by a boy named Dana Matherson and tried to defend himself when he’s on the bus going to his new school in Coconut Cove, Florida. The name of the school is Trace middle school. The main characters in Hoot are Roy, Dana, Beatrice, Mullet fingers, Officer Delinko, and Curly. I say the book is a wonderful book because it shows care ness. It also shows respect and protection. I would recommend the book to 4th graders and up even for adults. I also recommend this book because its funny and mysterious. Carmen

Hoot is an all time classic book and it is filled with amazing writings. I like how the author Carl Hiaasen expresses the character's moods. I love how Roy goes on a quest to figure out who the runnunig boy with no shoes is. Then Roy figures out that it is Beatrice B's step brother Mullet finger's who is trying to save the endangered owl's from being destroyed. I also like how Mullet Finger's vandalized the spot where Old Mother Paula's Pancake house is going to be. Roy is one of my favorite character's in the book because he love's to try to help out his friends. I also like how he punches Dana Matherson in the face and breaks his nose. I recommend this book to kids that are in 4th to 6th grades because it is an accelerated book. I hope that you loved the book as much as I did because it is so fascinating what they do to save the endangered owl's.
My book report is on Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. The story takes place at Florida. One main location in Florida was at Roy’s school. Roys school is big and expansive. This is like any other school with classrooms and bullies. Another main location is at Mother Paula’s, a construction site where a pancake house is being built. This is a flat dirt path with bulldozers and other construction equipment. The era is modern because there are cars, bulldozers, and computers. About four months have passed from the beginning of the book to the end, since at the start of the book he was starting school, and now he is half way through it. The main characters are Roy Eberhardt, Beatrice Leep, and Mullet Fingers. Roy is small, scrawny, and has black hair. He is in 7th grade and is 13 years old. He is also very funny. Mullet Fingers is tall, skinny, strong, and fast. He has black hair. Mullet Fingers is independent and stubborn. Roy and Mullet Fingers are friends. Beatrice Leep is also strong, mean looking, and tall. She is mostly friendly but fierce to her enemies. Beatrice and Mullet Fingers are brother and sister, and Roy and Beatrice are also friends. The genre is realistic fiction because it involves realistic characters doing things that may happen.
Roy Eberhardt is the new kid in town, and its just his luck that he makes an enemy right as he reaches. Dana Matherson, his school bully. But surprisingly, he actually helped Roy once. On bus ride home Dane had sneaked up on Roy and smashed his head against the window, and he then saw a strange boy running faster than he ever saw anyone run. Roy tries to leave the bus intrigued by the running boy, but Dana viciously chokes him. He escapes after punching Dana in the face, and then exiting the bus. But Roy can't catch the running boy because a golf ball hits Roy in the head. The school suspends him from the bus for two weeks and orders Roy to write an apology to Dana. Roy calls for a truce, but Dana refuses to accept. A cafe called Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House decides to build a franchise in Coconut Cove, but vandalism delays the work. Roy learns the running boy is the trespasser vandalizing the pancake house, known as "Mullet Fingers". Then they become friends. Mullet Fingers vandalizes and delays construction to save an endangered species, the burrowing owls that live on the construction site. The construction foreman denies the owls existence. Roy helps Mullet Fingers prove that there are owls and tells his class about the owls, and how construction will kill the endangered species, and tells them to join him stop the pancake house from being built. Roy and his classmates attend the gala groundbreaking ceremony and expose the truth. This saves the owls and their habitat.
I liked the book because it was full of surprises and action. My favorite part was when they exposed the pancake house and the construction site got shut down. My least favorite part was at the beginning of the book because that was when the narrator was talking about Roy, and that was not as action packed as the rest of the book. My favorite character was Mullet Fingers because when he believed something he never gave up believing in it. My least favorite character was Dana because he bullied many people and hurt them too. I think the moral of the story is follow your heart or your mind because whenever Roy, Mullet Fingers, or Beatrice believed they could do something they did it. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about animals, and people helping save animals. I think that the age group recommended to read Hoot is nine years or older.

I am really enjoying this book because Roy and Mullet Fingers would go and do the stupidest things just to save these small adorable owls. I would recommend this book to people of all ages because this is truly an awesome book to read. What will happen to the owls? Protect them from what? If you really want to know, READ THE BOOK!

The book I’m writing about is Hoot and the genre is realistic fiction. Roy moved to a new town and is getting picked on by Dana and his friends. Some of the characters in the book are Roy, Dana, Beatrice, Mullet Fingers, Curly and Officer Delinko. If I had to sell this book I would say it takes place in Coconut Cove, Florida. You can also hear swear words in this book too.

Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
ReplyDeleteThe book Hoot by Carl Hiaasen is and fantastic realistic fiction book that you will never want to put down. It is about a teenage boy named Roy that gets himself into more than he asked for. He begins at a normal day of school but it turns out to end with his head slammed up against the window of the bus with two large fingers digging into his temple. :( but that led to the most intense time of his life when he had to figure out and get all the details of what he saw when he looked out the window. Mother Paula’s pancake house is a very famous restaurant to eat at but do they really care about the environment and ANIMALS that have homes on their property? No they don’t. With the construction that they are about to start begins to be delayed by one boy who cares about the animals and their homes getting destroyed in the construction. Nobody knows who he is but he has seriously delayed and may stop the construction. Who is the boy? What happened to Dana? Are the animal’s homes going to be destroyed? Those are all questions that you have to find out by reading this book. My opinion of this book is that I never wanted to set the book down the second I picked it up… there is so much suspense that I had to find out the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and likes to be apart of books that have characters that will fascinate you like Curly, Roy, Beatrice, Officer Dolinko, Mullet Fingers, and Dana.

Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
ReplyDeleteThe book “Hoot” is a funny and exciting book. The genre of the book “Hoot” is realistic fiction because the events that happen in the book could really happen in real life. For example, people protest all the time about stuff they don’t approve of what that person or group of people is doing. Another example is that there are really bullies out there that are mean and aggressive towards other kids. This book is about when a boy named Roy Eberhardt moves to Coconut Cove, Florida. He finds out that it is full of adventure. Roy becomes the target of a bully called Dana Matherson at Trace Middle School. But Roy is more concerned about what’s going to happens to the running boy and who is vandalizing the Mother Paula’s Construction site. The running boy found out that there are burrowing owl dens where the birds are living. So he, Beatrice, and Roy do everything they possibly can to make sure they save those owls. The main characters in this book are Roy, who helps mullet fingers, Beatrice, who is helping Roy, The running boy (mullet fingers), who is protesting against the owls, Dana, who is the school bully, Officer Delinko, who is the patrol man on duty, and finally Curly, who is the supervisor of the Mother Paula’s Construction site. My opinion of the book is that it is great, enjoyable, fun and full of adventure that will make you want to keep reading. I would recommend this book to anybody who likes funny, and adventure filled books because this book is full of surprises that u might not expect. When u read Hoot u will find out all the surprises and what really happens to the birds.

HOOT
ReplyDeleteBy Carl Hiaasen
My opinion of HOOT is that it is a brilliantly planed out book. I found that out when I couldn’t put the book down. This book is about a boy named Roy Eberhart who now lives in the Everglades. He gets bullied by Dana Matherson who parents; well . . . let’s just say they weren’t much of em’. Roy see’s a strange boy running one day, and he turns out to be one of his greatest friends, along with Beatrice, who’s the stepbrother of the running boy, Mullet Fingers. Together, they try to stop the mother Paula’s construction on an owl habitat, but try to get stoped by cops, construction workers, and other people too! The genre of HOOT is realistic fiction because the owls are real, people do do construction on places where wildlife lives, they destroy their natural habitats, and people do protest. That and none of the events that happened in this book actually happened in real life. The main characters in this book are: Roy Eberhart, Dana Matherson, Beatrice, Mullet Fingers, Officer Delinko, and Officer Muckle, Roy’s parents, and Garret. I recommend this book tob people all ages, and people who enjoy adventure, suspense, and comedy. So many questions will flow through your mind when you read this book. Who’s Mullet Fingers? Why does Dana hate Roy? Will they save the owls? Find out in Hoot.

The book Hoot is based on a story that could possibly happen in real life that’s why it’s a realistic fiction. Its based on a boy named Roy Eberhardt. On his first day of school he gets beat up by a boy named Dana Matherson and tried to defend himself when he’s on the bus going to his new school in Coconut Cove, Florida. The name of the school is Trace middle school. The main characters in Hoot are Roy, Dana, Beatrice, Mullet fingers, Officer Delinko, and Curly. I say the book is a wonderful book because it shows care ness. It also shows respect and protection. I would recommend the book to 4th graders and up even for adults. I also recommend this book because its funny and mysterious. Carmen

ReplyDeleteThis is awesome BOOK
ReplyDeleteHoot is an all time classic book and it is filled with amazing writings. I like how the author Carl Hiaasen expresses the character's moods. I love how Roy goes on a quest to figure out who the runnunig boy with no shoes is. Then Roy figures out that it is Beatrice B's step brother Mullet finger's who is trying to save the endangered owl's from being destroyed. I also like how Mullet Finger's vandalized the spot where Old Mother Paula's Pancake house is going to be. Roy is one of my favorite character's in the book because he love's to try to help out his friends. I also like how he punches Dana Matherson in the face and breaks his nose. I recommend this book to kids that are in 4th to 6th grades because it is an accelerated book. I hope that you loved the book as much as I did because it is so fascinating what they do to save the endangered owl's.
ReplyDeleteHoot
ReplyDeleteMy book report is on Hoot by Carl Hiaasen. The story takes place at Florida. One main location in Florida was at Roy’s school. Roys school is big and expansive. This is like any other school with classrooms and bullies. Another main location is at Mother Paula’s, a construction site where a pancake house is being built. This is a flat dirt path with bulldozers and other construction equipment. The era is modern because there are cars, bulldozers, and computers. About four months have passed from the beginning of the book to the end, since at the start of the book he was starting school, and now he is half way through it. The main characters are Roy Eberhardt, Beatrice Leep, and Mullet Fingers. Roy is small, scrawny, and has black hair. He is in 7th grade and is 13 years old. He is also very funny. Mullet Fingers is tall, skinny, strong, and fast. He has black hair. Mullet Fingers is independent and stubborn. Roy and Mullet Fingers are friends. Beatrice Leep is also strong, mean looking, and tall. She is mostly friendly but fierce to her enemies. Beatrice and Mullet Fingers are brother and sister, and Roy and Beatrice are also friends. The genre is realistic fiction because it involves realistic characters doing things that may happen.
Roy Eberhardt is the new kid in town, and its just his luck that he makes an enemy right as he reaches. Dana Matherson, his school bully. But surprisingly, he actually helped Roy once. On bus ride home Dane had sneaked up on Roy and smashed his head against the window, and he then saw a strange boy running faster than he ever saw anyone run. Roy tries to leave the bus intrigued by the running boy, but Dana viciously chokes him. He escapes after punching Dana in the face, and then exiting the bus. But Roy can't catch the running boy because a golf ball hits Roy in the head. The school suspends him from the bus for two weeks and orders Roy to write an apology to Dana. Roy calls for a truce, but Dana refuses to accept. A cafe called Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House decides to build a franchise in Coconut Cove, but vandalism delays the work. Roy learns the running boy is the trespasser vandalizing the pancake house, known as "Mullet Fingers". Then they become friends. Mullet Fingers vandalizes and delays construction to save an endangered species, the burrowing owls that live on the construction site. The construction foreman denies the owls existence. Roy helps Mullet Fingers prove that there are owls and tells his class about the owls, and how construction will kill the endangered species, and tells them to join him stop the pancake house from being built. Roy and his classmates attend the gala groundbreaking ceremony and expose the truth. This saves the owls and their habitat.
I liked the book because it was full of surprises and action. My favorite part was when they exposed the pancake house and the construction site got shut down. My least favorite part was at the beginning of the book because that was when the narrator was talking about Roy, and that was not as action packed as the rest of the book. My favorite character was Mullet Fingers because when he believed something he never gave up believing in it. My least favorite character was Dana because he bullied many people and hurt them too. I think the moral of the story is follow your heart or your mind because whenever Roy, Mullet Fingers, or Beatrice believed they could do something they did it. I would recommend this book to people who like stories about animals, and people helping save animals. I think that the age group recommended to read Hoot is nine years or older.
