AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

The little Owl is determined to become a knight. When knights start disappearing from the castle, he gets his wish and excels in his lessons, even though he is the smallest. His first job is night knight watch – where he realizes why the knights have been disappearing, and also comes up with a clever resolution.

Denise’s artistic style is a great old-fashioned illustrative look – perfect for a castle-based story. The owl is so earnest, you won’t mind that he is totally the wrong size – especially when he proves how clever he is.
