Carl Hiaasen is one of my favorite authors, but this is the first time I've read one of his books for younger readers.It is the story of Roy Eberhardt, a boy attending Trace Middle School, in Coconut Grove, FL, having recently moved from Montana. Roy is an only child who is being mercilessly bullied by a bigger, older thug named Dana Masterson. Told with humor and lots of plot twists, we watch Roy make some unlikely friends, join a protest to save some rare burrowing owls, and save the proverbial day. Through the sharp eyes of the ever-observant Roy, we meet many adult characters typical to Florida, who provide comic relief and a thoroughly unusual plot line.
