Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Dylana

This book really caught my interest. The main character, Roy, is very witty and unique and smart. He's a junior high student who moves all the time. Now he lives in Florida as an only child with his parents. He's the school bully's main target and he's sick of it. Plus he hates Florida and misses Montana. That is, until he sees the running boy. Things totally change. The running boy's stepsister, Beatrice, is there to protect him. Then Roy gets involved with a scandal to protect the miniature burrowing owls nesting in the lot where a Mother Paula's Pancake restaurant will be built upon. Roy and his new friends do all they can do to get the construction stopped. You'll love this book, plus it has honors. It's really interesting and I enjoyed the plot line and the original characters a lot. Both adults, teens, and kids will like this read!
