This was a great book and so much more than a mystery. It was funny and heart-warming. I caught myself laughing out loud and tearing up. Carl Hiaasen's first book for kids deservingly made it on the Newberry Honor Book list. Some of the characters had highly developed, strong personalities and others were just wacky. The main character, Roy, struggles with a dilemma between his "head and heart" that makes us all think about what is most important. I have a poster in my kitchen that says. "Sometimes the heart needs to do things without the brain's permission." I thought about this when I read this book. This is a great adventure/mystery story.
