Hiaasen s best for a young audience since Newbery Honor Hoot (2002) features a shy, deep-feeling protagonist who s also a pragmatist and plenty of nature info and age-appropriate cultural commentary . Humorous adventure tales just don t get any more wacked or fun to read than this. Kirkus Reviews, starred review
