This book was absolutely fabulous every sentence pulled me in if you can get your hands on this book read it. I couldn't put the book down for the whole morning I just had to find out what had happened. Also it's a series so it has made me want to read all the other books in the series. It is amazing! If you like owls and animals then it's the book for you! General Beany Jellybaby
