Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

Newbery Honor

A boy named Roy moves from Montana to Florida and gets a friend at his new school. His friend, named Beatrice, has a stepbrother that is trying to stop a pancake company from destroying some owls' homes. Roy joins the fight and in the end, they make a difference and stop the pancake company.

I think this book was given this title because it's about owls.
