The Tree in Thunder Hollow Dan Barnwell

In this final section of the journey for The Owls of Thunder Hollow, the great golden eagle, Brownie returns to lead the owls home. Carrying Talon's feather and a hopeful heart, Beech, the owl known as The True Believer prepares the sickly remnants of the owl community for the trip. The young owls take a solemn vow to never return to the Weasel Swamp. Their spirits yearn for the high, dark ridges of Thunder Hollow. The young owls train all through the winter, gaining strength and discipline. Beech thinks they are ready by the time Brownie returns, but none of the owls understands how far and dangerous the flight home will be.
