Owly: The Way Home

Bought at a book fair at my school in Shanghai, China, in March of 2022.

Title: Owly: The Way Home
Publisher: Scholastic / Graphix
Date: September, 2020
Writer: Andy Runton
Artist: Andy Runton

Two stories about Owly, a lonely owl who wants to make some friends. The first story describes how Owly meets Wormy and how they travel together to try to find Wormy's home and family, having some adventures along the way.

The second story details Owly and Wormy's friendship with Tiny and Angel, a pair of hummingbirds. Once again, there are a few adventures, but this time it's the hummingbirds who must embark on a journey as winter approaches.

This has more words than previous Owly stories I've read (I review one here), but keeps most of Owly's dialogue to symbols and pictures like in previous books.

This was a cute exploration of friendship and loyalty framed around a fun series of adventures.

Rating: 7/10
