 great bookSep 05, 2010
This is a great book for 4-6th graders. I am teaching life sciences and this book ties in very well! Next, we'll dissect owl pellets!
Brilliant!Jun 26, 2010
I read this book in 5 grade, and i didn't think it would be anything special. Well, it was. Here is an amazing book, not just for children, but for all ages. I will never forget this book, and I highly recomend it.

It is a very good book. It is about a mouse who loses her boyfriend to a owl named Mr.Ocax. She has a wonderful adventrueand meets new friends. You have to read it to find out.
A wonderful trip into the world of literatureJul 22, 2009
This is a wonderful book to read to your child. It is fabulously well written. I enjoyed the way Avi used the language. He does not talk down to the childeren. His imagery and descriptions are breath-taking.
My 8 year old son stayed up until 12 am listening eagerly to my every word. He was up again at 7 am to hear the end. ( We read it during the summer)

 It might just be the audiobook...Jun 16, 2009
But I'm feeling NO emotion from this. The narrator just makes it boring. Even so I thought I should feel something for the poor mouse, after all her boyfriend died. Honestly though? I hated Ragweed. I guess he was supposed to sound cool? It was just, for lack of a better word, stupid.
I can't attach myself to any of the characters, I hate them all.
The 'action' is bland, too.
Avi does have a book or two that are worth while, just not this one.
