Calpurnia Tate and her grandfather are looking for dinosaur
bones. While rowing on the river, suddenly an owl drops into the water right in
front of them. Owls don’t swim or dive
for their food, so this is strange.
Rescuing the owl in a butterfly net, they take the sopping bird to the
vet. Nothing seems physically wrong with
it, so Calpurnia takes it home for a few days to make it’s well before
releasing it, but what caused the owl to fall from the sky in the first
place?
Book 3 in the Calpurnia Tate Girl Vet series has less drama
than Skunked or Counting Sheep, but the simple story works itself into an
interesting mystery with an environmental message. This whole series is a definite buy for your
elementary library - no need to read the longer fiction books first, and these
can be read in any order.
