HOOT

Carl Hiaasen, . . Knopf, $8.95 (292pp) ISBN 978-0-375-82916-1

"With a Florida setting and pro-environment, anti-development message, Hiaasen returns to familiar turf for his first novel for young readers," wrote PW . "Several suspenseful scenes, along with dollops of humor, help make this quite a hoot indeed." Ages 10-up. (May)
