Wabi: A Hero's Tale -- Joseph Bruchac

Wabi was born an owl--a great horned owl who grew to become such a strong, confident creature that he was afraid of nothing. But now he <i>is</i> afraid. He fears that he might never win the heart of the girl he loves. Somehow, despite his own intentions, he has fallen in love with a girl--a beautiful, headstrong human girl. And so he begins the adventure of his life. He shape-shifts into human form in order to be with her. But before he can win her love, he must face an even greater challenge in a land he comes to think of as the Valley of Monsters. <p/><b>A <i>School Library Journal </i>Best Book of the Year <p/>* "Wabi's inquisitive and endearing personality will charm readers." --<i>School Library Journal</i>, starred review </b><br><br><b>Author:</b> Joseph Bruchac<br><b>Publisher:</b> Penguin Young Readers Group<br><b>Published:</b> 10/04/2007<br><b>Pages:</b> 208<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.48lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.60w x 0.57d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780142409473<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 5<br><b>Point Value:</b> 7<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Middle Grade Plus<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>106417 / Wabi: A Hero's Tale<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Joseph Bruchac is a highly acclaimed children's book author, poet, novelist and storyteller, as well as a scholar of Native American culture.
