More Owls
What strikes me so as so fascinating is how the author, Kathryn Lasky, presents the story. She makes the book very easy to understand--very good young adult literature, making it a breeze to complete in a short amount of time all while using fantastic imagery that captivates the senses along with a story that keeps our heart warm and our butts on the edge of our seat. I'm excited to find out what happens at the end of the story as well as in the rest of the book series. The one thing that most interests me, or got me involved in this novel is the movie--which isn't released yet. I have been anticipating it for a while because I am still in love with movies geared toward kids, and teens. As soon as I saw the book, I bought it and it's getting me even more ready for the movie. PICK IT UP NOW!

Wow! There's a lot of energy in your writing about this book. Ah, imagery. It's one element of writing that we study in school because it's so important, but often how we study it undermines its power in the books we read and love. It's great that you've found an example that lets you appreciate it without being slammed over the head by it.
