Many of Hiaasen’s adult books have environmental themes, or characters deeply tied to the environment or issues surrounding land development and the protection of endangered species, so it’s no surprise that he chose to hit those hot buttons again in the book, “Hoot.” This movie shows he found kindred spirits in Wil Shriner and Jimmy Buffett, the latter a native Floridian and songwriter. Hiaasen has recently published another young adult novel, this one also focusing on the evils of big corporations and the plight of the beleaguered environment, called “Flush.”
