Roy continues to search for the boy, finding a makeshift camp under a bridge, but not much else. When he admits to chasing the boy, the redhead warns him to back off, which only peaks his curiosity. Upon his return to school, he’s confronted by a tough, redheaded girl who wants to know why he ran off. Dana grabs Roy and chokes him, but Roy punches him and runs after the boy, before he runs onto a golf green and is knocked out by one of the balls. Curious, he asks about the boy around the school that day, but no one seems to know who he is.Ī few days later, Roy sees the boy again, and decides to run after him. On one occasion when Dana has forced his face up against the window of the bus, Roy sees a barefoot boy running away from the bus stop. To add to his troubles, he’s attracted the attention of the school bully, Dana Matherson.
Since moving from the beautifully rugged mountains of Bozeman Montana to the depressingly flat town of Coconut Cove, Roy has felt unwanted and out of place.
Roy Eberhardt is the new kid in school, and feeling all of the hard knocks that come with it.

As the plot thickens, Roy and his friends realise it's up to them to save the endangered owls from the evil Mother Paula's pancake company who are planning to build a new restaurant on their home. Sensing a mystery, Roy starts to trail the mystery runner – a chase that will introduce him to many weird Floridian creatures: potty-trained alligators, cute burrowing owls, a fake-fart champion, a shoeless eco-warrior, a sinister pancake PR man, new friends and some snakes with sparkly tails. And anyway, it’s because of Dana that Roy gets to see the mysterious running boy who runs away from the school bus and who has no books, no backpack and, most bizarrely, no shoes. Roy’s family moves around a lot so he’s used to the new-kid drill – he's also used to bullies like Dana Matherson. In his opinion, Disney World is an armpit. Roy Eberhardt never wanted to move to Florida. Winner of the Newbery Honor award and a New York Times bestseller, Carl Hiaasen's first novel celebrates the natural world with his trademark wit and warmth.
