Of a Feather

"Set in Vermont, the story is fleshed out by thought-provoking forays into the ethics of hunting and the powerlessness of children in determining their home lives....Unusual and poignant--full of the depth and contradictions of life."--Kirkus "A tender tale that reminds readers that families come in all forms and that the greatest rewards come from opening oneself to all that life has to offer."--Booklist "A compelling narrative of coping, loss, and learning to trust."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Dayna writes the inner thoughts of animals better than anyone I know, and I'm sure readers are going to fall in love with Rufus the fierce and lovable great horned owl, just like I did! This sweet, funny story of a prickly girl and the owl she helps rescue is a perfect tale of outcasts, friendship, falconry, and the families we create."--Tui T. Sutherland, New York Times bestselling author of the Wings of Fire series "I love this story of falconry, family, and finding your way in a big, scary world. Reenie and Rufus absolutely stole my heart!" --Kate Messner, author of Chirp and the Ranger in Time series --
