7/50 Hoot by Carl Hiaasen
To be fair, I actually read this book before Misty, but I forgot to list it until after I wrote it up so they are reversed.
Sometimes I read books just because movies have been made of them which generally means they will be decent. I think I really wanted this book to be like Holes which I read a few years ago which was one of the best books I ever read. Sadly, this book is cute, but not much more than that. It’s a little juvenile. Yeah, I know its meant for young adult readers but 99% of the books I read are mean for YA readers and they don’t feel dumbed down. A good YA book should just be “safe” for YA to read, but enjoyable to everyone. This book was almost there, but not quite.
