The Snow Owl by Jon Hartling

The Snow Owl by Jon Hartling

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




Ben thinks his son's talk of the magical kingdom of Lukana is just typical childhood imagination. But one winter day, when seven year-old Eric sculpts a snow owl in his backyard, he seems to set in motion events that cannot be anything but magical. Now Ben faces the terrifying prospect of losing his only child to a wintry spirit... a spirit that just might be the boy's true.

My Thoughts.......


A young mother dies in childbirth and begs her husband to forgive her and accept the child. He looks down at a child that can't possibly be his, and decides that he loved his wife enough to raise her child even if she was unfaithful once. The boy is a sunny, bright child with an unusual preference for cold weather and a great imagination that insists he can talk to owls .The young child tells his father that the owls are coming for him and that he is a long lost prince.



Despite the initial thoughts of non belief running through Eric's fathers head I liked how he listen to the boy and what he had to say and how the father set out to prove if what the boy was saying was true. It was a short but moving story with a magical flair and enjoyable this book could have ended with several different endings.
