It was AMAZING!!! I'm 12 years old and I absolutely LOVED it! I think it's the kind of book that would be perfect for everyone who's 9 and up.

What Parents Need to Know
About Hoot
Parents need to know that there is some mild violence and swearing here, and that, while the adults are mostly portrayed negatively, the heroes don't always behave honestly either.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the issues raised here concerning the conflict between environmental and economic concerns. How should we balance our human needs with those of the natural world? What do you think about the ways in which the characters behaved in order to protect the owls? Was it realistic? What would you have done? Families who also see the movie may want to compare and contrast the two. Which version do you like better? What would you have done differently?

I was Suprised this only got 3 stars!
The book is positively superb. The adults aren't very idiotic according to my memory, just a bunch of them are...uh...yeah. There are bullies, which are necessary to the plot, and some injuries, but they don't even POKE at the graphic area. It is indeed humorous, and many kids aren't even very shocked by mild swears anyway, so your child may enjoy it--if you'll allow them to take the ride.
