Hoot is an awesome book about friendship and the unbelievable greed from people in this world. The owls living under ground are a perfect example of what people would destroy for money. I read it in fifth grade and let me warn you that…
The book “Hoot” is a fantastic choice for kids of all ages. Despite the general recommendation from the author of children from 9 to 12, the storyline and writing are suitable for all ages. Without coming on too strong, the book tells a…

Read this book in fourth grade, then watched the movie in sixth grade, and read the book again in seventh grade. Needless to say, I was pretty hooked onto this book. Hoot is cleverly written out.

This book was the first to get me hooked on wildlife. Then I started reading other Carl Hiaasen's books. Carl Hiaasen showed how age doesn't matter; it's the determination for an impossible-mission that gets you places.

A cute mystery story - but I wouldn't have listed the ages as "10 & up". I think there is a bit too much unsavoury language for kids that young. I purchased these for my turning-10 neice's birthday, but I'll be returning them to Chapters…
