I absolutely disappeared into this book; I mean TOTALLY ceased to pay attention to everything else going on around me! A sizeable amount of the story, I heard through my earbuds, mostly during physical therapy sessions. Another big chunk, my two teenaged grandchildren heard in my car as I trundled them from orthodontist to library to meeting their Dad to transfer custody. Since I live some thirty country miles from town, those jaunts involved lots of quiet time. I was amazed when they came out of their tablets and listened to the book instead!
The narrator was absolutely perfect, capturing the emotion as well as the excitement and scientific basis for various events and observations.
I love animal stories, not tearjerkers, but those that involve learning and building bridges between species.... this will be, and should be, a classic. It is perfect for almost anyone that can sit still long enough to listen to the individual events and sections. For the younger audience, that will break il into just about perfect lengths for restless kiddos.
LOVED THIS BOOK!! Multiply the stars, because three of us loved it!

I’m a sucker, I guess....

Surprising and informative in its revelation of the abilities of a barn owl, charming in the experience of an intimate relationship, "Wesley the Owl" is delightfully read. I'm still musing over many memorable events of a shared life.

The way they learned to relate and understand each other was amazing. On the other hand I felt Stacey had forgone human companionship because of her devotion to Wesley.

When something or someone dies we naturally always wonder what we could have done that might have saved them.
