summery-there was a group of people vandalising the pancake house. one of the things they did is put alligators in the porta potty and they pulled the stakes out of the pancakes houses construction. the reason they were vandalising the pancake house is because they were trying to stop the construction machines from running over the owls that are in the burrows. the person who owns the pancake house is named curly  and when ever his pancake house is vandalised he gets super mad. one of the parts of the story is when he calls this guy and when the guy comes in his red truck he pulls out five big dogs and pulls them over to curly and he says "somezing happens, you call right vay. No touch za dogs". the dogs were meant to protect the pancake house from vandals.  

one of the parts of the story was when Roy was looking for the bare foot boy in the forest and roy found a camp with trash bags on the ground. then roy opened one of the trash bags and a bunch of cotton mouth snakes slithered out of the bag and then the bare foot boy held Roy on a tree and said "stay still".

discussion leader-what type of snake slithered out of the trash bag when roy was in the forest?

hoot is a book on a boy named roy and he saves the OWL's in there borrow from the guy who try's to build a pan cake house so he can make money. roy see's a boy that ran and Roy will help the bare foot boy save the OWL's. hoot is a non fiction story and about how important animals are.
