The Horn Book Magazine reviews read, “Hoot is quintessential Hiaasen … peopled with original and wacky characters… Not consistently a hoot, but worthy of a holler. Hiaasen's first YA book succeeds as a humorous diversion.”
The story is full of offbeat humor, buffoonish yet charming supporting characters, and genuinely touching scenes of children enjoying the wildness of nature. He deserves a warm welcome into children’s publishing. – Booklist. A wonderful tour-de-force. – Boston Globe. A rollicking, righteous story. – Miami Herald.
