The combination of a solid vocal performance and Hiaasen's stable of quirky characters will likely keep young listeners hooked, and established Hiaasen fans amused. With his youthful voice, Lowe again serves up a realistic portrayal of these young protagonists. Roy inadvertently gets caught up in the boy's sometimes-humorous conservation efforts, with eventually positive results. The boy turns out to be a homeless, neglected kid who uses unorthodox tactics to save a local owl habitat from being developed as a pancake house. While taking a pummeling on the bus, Roy becomes fascinated with a boy he sees running in the street. But when he and his family settle in Florida, being hassled by the school bully lands Roy in the middle of an ecological mystery. Since his parents move around a lot, Roy Eberhardt is used to being the new kid at school. He writes a column for the Miami Herald and is the author of many bestselling novels including Bad Monkey. Lowe's audiobook repertoire (most recently Big Mouth & Ugly Girl) grows with this unhurried, optimistic reading of bestselling author Hiaasen's debut work for young readers.
