Roy Eberhardt arrived with his parents in Florida after the Montana ... he finds it very flat and not very intéressant..d'autant more than he is regularly pushed around by the school bully big ... Then he met a boy who does not go to school and trying to save the owls threatened by the construction of a pancake shop ... There is also a cop full of goodwill but not very smart, and a foreman accabit the same! Roy is a very sympathetic character, but not necessarily a hero who chooses to get involved to avoid trouble with a friend, and to save tiny owls ... The environment, and the damage that developers and other major theme parks have caused to Florida is a recurring theme of the books of Carl Hiaasen ...
