Industry reviews
Gr 3-6 Beginning with the rescue of a baby barred owl, Swinburne follows a 16-year-old volunteer through her summer duties at the Vermont Raptor Center, ending with the owl's release into the wild in the fall. Full-color photos show Hannah at work as she feeds and cares for the injured birds that the center is rehabilitating. Dialogue between the teen and visiting families gives an immediacy to the narrative. Numerous boxed inserts add more detailed facts on raptors. By the end of the book, readers will share some of Hannah's knowledge as well as her feeling of closeness to these creatures. They will also know more about the dangers birds face from modern conveniences such as cars and electric wires. Ruth S. Vose, San Francisco Public Library
