I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves adventures. A absolutely adored it. What a great frosty read... Full of excitement and adventure. It s my favourite type of book. I wish that this book could be turned into a whole series; the way the book ends is a real cliffhanger. It is probably one of the best books that I have ever read in my life! I would recommend it to ages 8+. As much as I like it, it does get sad at times. It s great for Enid Blyton lovers and many more. It is very dramatic and involves lots of drama. So creative. I ve never read a book like it. All I can say is WOW what a FAB book! I hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I did. Have fun reading!!!

Freya Hudson, age 13 A Girl Called Owl is a magical and enchanting story about the
mystical world of winter. When Owl tries to find out who her father is, it leads her on a journey of discovery, betrayal, trust, friendship and power, between two very different worlds. She realises that she is only half-human as she develops special powers and has to learn how to control them. Characters include Jack Frost, The Green Man, Mother Earth, the Queen of May and talking wolves and owls. The breath taking world of winter is beautifully described. Owl is determined to do things her way to fulfil her destiny, although many times she regrets being on her 'adventure' and just wants to forget about it all and be boring and normal. She has to accept her fate and becomes more like her name; a bird of wisdom and prey. This book is a good, easy read, a kind of fairy tale, a page turner into the deeper world of the elements, friends, family and frost.

One day at school frost patterns appear on her skin and a new boy starts giving her weird looks. Does her father have something to do with this? My favourite character is Owl because she is courageous and curious. She never gives up trying to find out who her father is and why he ran away. My other favourite character was Mallory (Owl s friend) because she wanted to help Owl. My favourite part was when Owl froze Mallory s room and when she unfroze it the room was all wet. This book is very atmospheric because it is written in first person and present tense. There are no pictures so the descriptions have to stand in their place and they do that job very well!

Owl lives with her mum who tells beautiful fairy stories about how she met
