Carl Hiaasen started writing children's books when he realized that he loved kids and that he had written were too adult for his nieces and nephews. In writing his first baby adult novel, Hiaasen faced some challenges: "The biggest challenge was trying not to subconsciously 'write down' for young readers." He found that BA novels were easier to write. Hiaasen said, "When I was creating the character in Hoot, I'm sure I stole liberally from my pre-adolescence."
