Summary: Incredible by Yury Serna
Review: The book was fantastic, the book is full of small, cunning mysteries. The book is extremely hilarious. Like, for example the alligators in the porta-potties, for "Curly" it wasn't funny at all but for me and the rest of my 6th grade Language Arts class it was very funny.Mother Paula's All-American pancake house is full of incredibly histerical chracters, like "Curly" who killed a rat in his bathroom thinking it was a cotton mouth mocassin. Then he put rat traps to trap any more rats.
However, this book is also caring for the environment and its living things in it.Like the most important subjects of the story are Burrowing Owls who are almost killed by the building of Mother Paula's. Fortunately they are saved by Roy Eberhardt,Beatrice, "mullet Fingers", etc.
My favorite chapter is Ch.20, when one of the owls finally give proof that the holes everybody thought were abandonrd years ago, wasn't true. "Mullet Fingers" is in one of the holes and a Burrowing Owl flies in the air, and lands on top of his head it is just incredible, I believe it left the whole audience with their mouth open.Even though the book doesn't describe their faces I could picture an image of Chuck.E Muckle all with hatred inside. All I have to say is that I would love to read what is next in Mr.Hiaasen's mind, which I bet is always full of ideas.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I really think that this book was really exceptional because I had never read a book like that,in the fact that it tiik part in two different places.This book is about this kid named Roy that moves constantly from place to place some would even call him a nomad.Resently he moved from Montana to Coconut Cove.Here Roy will find friends enemies and courage to stand up for himself.On the first day of school he notices a running boy while getting choked by the schools bully Dana Matherson.Roy Also finds a lot of adventures on the Way. The End

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A GREAT BOOK
Review: This was a great book (...).Roy was a good character because he was a new kid in town and he made friends and he tried his best to help his friends save the owls. My favorite part was when Roy told all of his classmates about Mothers Paulas groundbreaking and that they were going to kill some owls. Then Beatrice told all of her soccer friends about the owls too and they all came. Then while Chuck E. Muckle was talking the kids started protesting and sayind to save the owls. Another of my favorite characters was Mullet Fingers because he never quit tring to save the owls. He would vandalize the property,he would do life threating things like give big dogs something and give them snakes, and do other things like mess with allegators.I think that Roy's most important part was when Dana slamed him against the glass and he saw Mullet Fingers.This book taught me to choose what is best from the heart and from the brain.I really liked the book HOOT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it!
Review: Dear Carl Hiaason,

i have just finished reading your book "hoot" and i loved it! At first when my teacher told me that my class was going to read "Hoot" i thought it was going to be a dum book about owls. But as soon as i read the first word i couldnt stop readng.It is so funny and i love the way how you used sarcasm a lot in your story. What i also liked about your book is that you used a lot of similes and metaphors. I think that what makes your book the best is that the plot of the story is so original than all of the other books i've ever read.
My favorite part of the story is the ending when roy and beatrice stopped the construction of Mother Paula's because of the owls. I love the way how you made each character in the book different. My favorite character is Nepolian Leep a.k.a Mullet Fingers. He's my favorite because he is so adventerus and isnt afraid of taking risks. And i love the fact that he broke so many rules just to save those owls.
Anyways i just wanted to say what a great book you have created and i hope the next book is as good as the one before!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hoot is a great book.
Review: Hoot is one of the greatest books i've read in a long time. it was very funny when Dana gets hurt due to Roy. Roy is a very couragous person taking on Dana and helping the running boy. But if it wasn't for Dana Matherson smashing his face against the school bus window that day, he might never have seen the running boy. And if he had never seen the running boy, he might never have met Beatrice. And if he had never met Beatrice, he might never have discovered the burrowing owls living in the lot on the corner of East Oriole Avenue. And if he had never discovered the owls, he probably would have missed out on the adventure of a lifetime.
First all the survey markers are pulled up and all the stake holes are filled in.The air is let out of the construction vehiciles tires. Alligators (small ones) are put in the out house toilets. No work is being done. The date for a grand opening is approaching. Who is doing this and why are no mystery to the reader, but they are a serious question to the construction foreman, Curly, police officer Delinko and Curly's boss at headquarters, Chuck Muckle. Of course, Mother Paula's is about to be constructed on land on which there a bunch of burrowing owls.
My favorite part of this book is when Officer Delinko's patrol car gets spray painted by the vandal, which is Mullet Fingers or should I say Napoleon Bridger Leep. It was funny when Officer Delinko falls asleep and when he wakes up sees his patrol car windows are spray painted black. Officer Delinko thought it was early in the morning, but it was really nine thirty. I laughed my head off in this part. Another part I liked was the part that Roy mooned Dana and Dana got real mad and chased Roy about three blocks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT WAS GREAT
Review: I REALLY ENJOYED THE BOOK. IT WAS VERY FUNNY. I LIKE ALL THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOK BUT MY FAVORITE WAS MULLET FINGERS( A.K.A NAPOLEON BRIDGER). HE IS BRAVE AND STANDS UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN. I'M SORT OF LIKE THAT. IN THE END I LIKED HOW BOTH OFFICER DELINKO ROY COMPLETED WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.I WILL PROBABLY READ THE BOOK AGAIN SOON TO SEE IF I MISSED ANY IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE BOOK.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hoot is the BEST book around!!!
Review: Hoot is one of the best books that I have read.The book is
interesting,funny,and very entertaining.I loved the book and
I liked how it got you more interested in the book as you went
chapter by chapter.The way that it got me more interested in the book was that as I read each chapter something good would come up and then suddenly the chapter would end. The book also
taught me alot of vocabulary words that I did not know. For
example three words are toupec,miffed,and improbable. I liked

on how the book kept me interested.
Next,the book I think can be the best book for kids in the
whole United States of America. I also liked on how Carl
Hiaasen described the characters in a visual way throughout
the whole entire. Last but not least, my favorite character
was Mullet Fingers. The reason why I liked Mullet Fingers was
because he is different from other kids because he does things
that you would not usually see a kid do. Once again Hoot is
one of the best books around and I think it should be the
number one book for kids throughout the whole United States.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: that was a great and an interesting book!
Review: When Roy gets to Florida he sees a new kid that is barefoot.
He goes to a new school and meets Dana Matherson. After Roy is
looking for a while he finds Beatrice Leep and finds out that the barefoot kid is her stepbrother. His name is Napoleon Bridger.Next they are facing a challenge to save burrowing owls. They are going against Mother Paula's Pancake House in which are notfilling out an important paper. (...).
My favorite character is Mullet Fingers. The reason why I likeMullet Fingers a.k.a. Napoleon Bridger is because I like how hedoes things silently. I also like on how he does things in a good form.A good part is when the kids all finally save the owls and find outthat a special form is not filled out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hoot
Review: Hoot: * * * * *

If I was to rate this book from 1-5 stars I would give it 5 stars. I thought that it was a great book. My favorite scene in this amazing book is when Roy ticks Dana to going into the trailer to find non-existing cigarettes. As Dana try's to find these cigarettes he is caught by Curly. My favorite character in the book is "mullet fingers" or Napoleon. Carl Hiaasen has the perfect ingredient of characters. One reason why I really thought that this was a great book is because it has a sense of humor. I am sure when you read this book you will laugh as much as a hyena. For example, there is a part of the book when Roy moons Dana. There was many great characters in this book, Dana: fat boy who is very hard headed, Mullet fingers" incredibly brave boy who helps the owls, Beatrice: mullet fingers sister (she also helps the owls), Roy: the new kid (helps with owls). My favorite character in this book is mullet fingers. The reason why he is my favorite character is because; no matter what gets in the way he will always be brave enough to save the owls. I think that this is a book for kids, but all ages can read it. How I read it, was with my whole class room at school. I could tell that every one liked it, because they would all giggle at funny parts of the book. They would all also participate when our teacher would ask us questions, for example, she would ask "what do you think is going to happen next" or "who do you think it was". If you like to read awesome books then you should definitely read this book. It is so far one of the best book I have ever read in my life before. So like I said when I first started, If I was to rate this book from 1-5 stars, I would automatically give it 5 stars. I do recommend this book for kids or like my teacher, read it to your students. Go and get it!!!!!!!!!
