Although this book is rather childish, it is a very suspenseful, thrilling and emotional book. I found myself reading it to 1:00 in the morning. Great book, kids will love it and I have no problem giving this book 5 stars for its great suspense. I hardly every give out 5 stars, and this is one exception.

I read it in the library and I was great! It is about a young barn owl named, Soren and he gets pushed of by is older brother, Kludd and I couldn't stop reading I followed Sorens' missions and adventures. Him meeting the cannibal, black creatures, the 'hagsfiends' finds who the traitors are from the 'Great Tree and also talks with his dead parent in the 'Spirit Woods' and finds out that Kludd killed their own parents!
