A Girl Called Owl
Paperback | English
By (author): Amy Wilson
A glittering story of frost and friendship, with writing full of magic and heart, the Branford Boase-longlisted A Girl Called Owl is a stunning debut about family and the beauty of the natural world.
It''s bad enough having a mum dippy enough to name you Owl, but when you''ve got a dad you''ve never met, a best friend who needs you more than ever, and a new boy at school giving you weird looks, there''s not a lot of room for much else.
So when Owl starts seeing strange frost patterns on her skin, she''s tempted to just burrow down under the duvet and forget all about it. Could her strange new powers be linked to her mysterious father? And what will happen when she enters the magical world of winter for the first time?
