A pancake chain, a building site, and a colony of owls

In Carl Hiaasen’s Florida, a new restaurant project puts an endangered colony of burrowing owls at risk. The conflict connects a newcomer at school and a feral friend with an effort to disrupt the pancake company’s plans, while alligators and poisonous snakes add to the book’s cast of wildlife. The setup brings together school life, pranks, and an environmental concern, giving the story a comic-fiction frame around the question of what happens to the owls when development reaches their habitat.

A PARADE BEST KIDS BOOK OF ALL TIME

Everybody loves Mother Paula's pancakes. Everybody, that is, except the colony of cute but endangered owls that live on the building site of the new restaurant. Can the awkward new kid and his feral friend prank the pancake people out of town? Or is the owls' fate cemented in pancake batter?
