Have you ever heard of an owl that wants to be a day bird? Well the residents at Animal Haven have. In fact Oscar the owl who has become a permanent resident at the sanctuary is! He wants to be noticed so he has decided to collect the post for the Green family. Can Boris who can speak to animals change Oscars mind while helping bossy Jess and looking after his loveable camel? And can Jess who spent four days at sea in a rubber raft save her father and stop the bird smugglers?

Owl Express is a great book if you want to read an enjoying book that you can never put down. I recommend this book for ages 7 to 12.
This book is even worth getting into trouble for reading under the covers at night. When you are reading this book it feels like you are part of the family waiting for your turn to speak. What first caught me with this book is the very bright big eyes of the owl. This is a great fiction novel.
