Of a Feather

<strong>"A perfect tale of outcasts, friendship, falconry, and the families we create.”--Tui T. Sutherland, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author of the Wings of Fire series</strong><BR/><BR/><strong>In the vein of Barbara O’Connor’s <em>Wish</em>, a moving, poignant story told in alternating perspectives about a down-on-her-luck girl who rescues a baby owl, and how the two set each other free.</strong><BR/><BR/> Great horned owl Rufus is eight months old and still can’t hunt. When his mother is hit by a car, he discovers just how dangerous the forest can be.<BR/><BR/> Reenie has given up on adults and learned how to care for herself—a good thing, since she’s sent to live with an aunt she’s never met. Yet this aunt has a wonderful secret: she’s a falconer who agrees to help Reenie catch an injured passage hawk in the wild and rehabilitate it.<BR/><BR/> When Reenie traps bedraggled Rufus, his eyes lock onto her heart, and they form a powerful friendship. But can Rufus learn to trust in the outside world and fly free? And can Reenie open her heart enough to truly soar?
