Hoot by Carl Hiassen

Roy is not happy about his move from Montana to Florida. He is tired of dealing with bullies. His new nemisis, Dana, is smashing his face against the bus window. While enduring the torture, he sees a young man running shoeless. His curiosity as to why this boy is running, what he is running from, and why is he shoeless, draws him into a cause that will involve the whole community. An enjoyable read, but not tops on my list
