Roy Eberhardt is the new kid in town and is quickly intrigued by a boy he sees running bare foot through town. Soon Roy, Beatrice, and the barefoot boy are coming together to save owls at the Mother Paula’s construction site.

Hoot was a staple book and movie of my childhood. Who knew that a book could get you to care about some owls and teach you that even as a kid you can stand up for what is right and possibly make a difference in this world. I would definitely recommend this book to any tween out there, but guess what? This book was enjoyable to read as an adult.
