My Opinions: After moving to Florida from Montana, Roy knew school would be the usual. Bullies. Homework. New teachers. However, after witnessing a barefoot boy running towards the woods, Roy's curiosity got the best of him as he ran after the boy. Eventually he met the boy and a girl named Beatrice both of who helped trigger a wonderful journey. While trying to get even with the bus bully, Dana, Roy was also on the mission to stop construction on the land where many innocent owls were burrowed. Roy transforms from a shy, weak new kid to an outgoing, thrill-seeking new kid as he teams up with Beatrice and the boy to fight against Mother Paula's All-American Pancake House Corporation to stop construction on the burrowing site. I really enjoyed this book because of its realistic nature. I could completely connect this to current day events and I could connect Roy to several environmental activists fighting for what they believe is right. This book sends a truly great message to the reader. This is a good read for the summer!:)
