Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
Roy Everharbt just moved from Boseman, Montana to Coconut Cove, Fl. He is not happy about it, but thanks to the biggest bully in school, Dana, Roy sees a strange barefoot boy running down the sidewalk. Soon Roy finds that kid is called "Mullet Fingers" and needs help to save burrowing owls at the construction site of a future Mother Paula Pancake House. Along with Beatrice, Roy, Mullet Fingers and Beatrice, the three middle school friends have to stop the construction once and for all. See if the three friends complete their goal by reading "Hoot." I think Hoot won the Newbery medal because of the way Carl Hiaasen describes the characters, like the sly Mullet Fingers.
