Was quickly sucked into the fantasy world of this book, where the heroine is a young teen going to school by day and living as a wereowl by night. Has lots of differences between her and usual kids - her owl point of view on food, human relations, housing, etc. Intriguing and fast read - would have liked a long book if reading for an adult audience - was only 204 pages, but still satisfactory plot. Teens will appreciate the sense of alienation, learning about oneself, understanding parents, teachers, and fellow students. Not only was the heroine, Owl, very unusual, but her parents and other parents were also different. Folks reading the book may also get insight about the pitfalls of having parents that are not connected to reality - and maybe not wish for that type of parents.
