    I read this book, but honestly I didn't think it was all that great, it was kinda funny and heartwarming at the end, but other than that is wasn't that great... i read it cuz it was a related to hoot and flush

    I liked this book. I thought it was a little weird, but I read it because I liked the author.

    Another great book by Carl Hiaasen. I like how he always encorporates an environmental issue into his book. I like the role of the teacher and the mystery surrounding her.

    I thought this book as a whole was good, but the writing quality might have been a little lacking. It was pretty similar to Hoot (characters save endangered animal and defeat bad companies trying to destroy wildlife). I don't think it would qualify for a Newberry but it was still a good book!
