A Caldecott Honor Winner and New York Times Bestseller!
A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval
picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart.
Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. He may
not be the biggest or the strongest, but his sharp nocturnal instincts
can help protect the castle, especially since many knights have recently
gone missing. While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is
faced with the ultimate trial--a frightening intruder. It's a daunting
duel by any measure. But what Owl lacks in size, he makes up for in good
ideas.
Full of wordplay and optimism, this surprising display of bravery proves
that cleverness (and friendship) can rule over brawn.
