It's all about to hit the fan, and when it does, these kids better scat. But first they'll have to reckon with a junior arsonist, a wannabe Texas oilman, and a ticked-off Florida panther. Scat: The most terrifying teacher in school is missing in the Everglades, and it's up to Nick and Marta to find her.
Now Dad's in the clink, the boat's back in business, and only Noah can flush the truth out into the open. Problem is, there's no evidence of illegal dumping. Can the awkward new kid and his feral friend prank the pancake people out of town? Or is the owls' fate cemented in pancake batter? Flush: The Coral Queen casino boat is treating the ocean like a toilet bowl, so Noah's dad decides to sink the darn thing. Everybody, that is, except the cute but endangered owls that live on the building site of the new restaurant. It took something away from the book that I found myself missing quite a bit.Take a trip to Carl Hiaasen's Florida-where the animals are wild and the people are wilder-with this collectible box set that includes the bestsellers Hoot, Flush, Scat, Chomp, and Squirm ! Hoot: Everybody loves Mother Paula's pancakes. The name he was given was just incredibly disappointing and I personally don't think it fit him well at all. Here I agree wholeheartedly with the decision the filmmakers made in leaving him with just his nickname. I will say, however, that I was sorely disappointed with Mullet Fingers' true name. At this point in time, I am unsure whether that is because I decided to watch the movie and read the book together and that led me to compare the fast pace of the movie to the slowness the book expressed due to the extra scenes which did not make it into the film or if it is simply because the book dragged a bit.
As I grew closer and closer to the end, I found myself feeling as though I just wasn't getting there fast enough.
In a way, I've gotten rather good at determining why something might have been cut out of the movie adaptation-whether I agree with it or not-and there were many things I noticed in this book that had not made it into the movie that just made sense.Īll in all, it was a pretty good book. When it came to Hoot, I find that I'm honestly in a place where I don't quite know which was better. No matter what, you always find yourself wondering which is better. It's always interesting to read a book after having already seen the movie.
