If you love animals, nature, the great outdoors or are simply an armchair observer you will certainly enjoy this book about this spiritedly little owl and the relationship formed with her caregiver. As anyone who has rescued an animal in distress, it can be a difficult task. …more Helping a wild animal with the distinct goal of releasing it into its natural habitat is both rewarding and stressful. I really enjoyed the author's writing style and I felt as though I was at his elbow throughout Alfie's rehabilitation and eventual release. I've rehabbed a number of birds, from wrens to seabirds, so I could really relate. All in all, a very enjoyable read. (less)
