Is this a test, to see if he is ready to leave the nest? Is he being punished for something? Before he knows what is happening, he is whisked away to a rescue centre, where he meets other owls who are also recovering from injuries before being released back into the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLonely, confused, and very self-conscious of the fact that he doesn’t have a name, the young owl slowly adapts to his new surroundings. He makes friends, finds his courage, heals from his injury, and realizes that identity is about more than a name that is given to you. It’s about the character that you develop, especially when you face hard times. Heartwarming, whimsical, and inspirational,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Owl without a Name\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an uplifting tale for young readers. | Ages 8–12\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.heritagehouse.ca\/book\/an-owl-without-a-name\/#\" class=\"read-more\" data-readmore-toggle=\"\" aria-controls=\"rmjs-1\"\u003eREAD MORE\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e▾\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"author-bio long-text readmore\" data-readmore=\"\" aria-expanded=\"false\" id=\"rmjs-2\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Author(s)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenna Greene\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis an author of YA and children’s fiction, best known for the award-winning Reborn Marks series, and co-host of the Jot Notes podcast, where she interviews authors from all over the world.
