I love how no one thinks it's wrong for a middle school girl to be in love with her teacher and spy on him while he is changing. Furthermore there really isn't a plot. It's just shape-shifters mixed with inappropriate romance.

Owl is one of the most unusual teenage-girl protagonists I've ever read. She observes humanity with a detached air, secure in the idea that as a wereowl she is apart from all this. Actually, she's not. Watching her find that out is just one delicious part of a truly fun book. Admittedly, it's not for everyone, but give it a try; it might be for you.

Was quickly sucked into the fantasy world of this book, where the heroine is a young teen going to school by day and living as a wereowl by night. Has lots of differences between her and usual kids - her owl point of view on food, human relations, housing, etc. Intriguing and fast read - would have liked a long book if reading for an adult audience - was only 204 pages, but still satisfactory plot. Teens will appreciate the sense of alienation, learning about oneself, understanding parents, teachers, and fellow students. Not only was the heroine, Owl, very unusual, but her parents and other parents were also different. Folks reading the book may also get insight about the pitfalls of having parents that are not connected to reality - and maybe not wish for that type of parents.

A truly wonderful book. I loved imagining what it would be like to be a wereowl. There were lots of surprises in this book. Not just fantasy, a story about different kinds of relationships and fitting in. Owl has a crush on a teacher, for starters.
