My class P3 have read a book called Hoot. Hoot is about a boy named Roy who gets bullied by a boy named Dana Matherson. One day when Roy was heading to school on the school bus he spots a running boy who look homeless, and Roy gets curios. He follows the running boy to his camp-site in a forest and that's when their friendship starts.
The running boy one night finds owls in the construction site of a new pancake house. He try's to protect them and gets in trouble with the law. Roy, The running boy and his step sister Beatrice all try to save the owls . Hoot is a great adventurous book that I enjoyed.
I would rate Hoot a 6 out of 10, only because it wasn't my type of book.
My favourite character was Beatrice (The running boys step sister) because she was brave, fisty and strong minded.
My least favourite character was Dana Matherson because he was A bully and he was naughty and obedient. He also smoked cigarettes which I think is disgusting.
My favourite part of the book was when Roy first met The running boy who was called Mullet Fingers. Roy followed Mullet Fingers to his camp-site in the forest. Roy looked around and no one was there so he searched through this plastic bag that lay on the ground. The plastic bag contained Cotton mouth snakes which are a deadly type of snake. Then Mullet Fingers came and saved the day.
I think the theme of the book is to not bully and save and protect all our animals especially owls.
In the movie Hoot I am most looking forward to seeing all the characters and seeing how different the movie is to the book.
