Owly, Volume 1 : The Way Home and the Bittersweet Summer by Andy Runton is a graphic novel about the sweetest little owl named Owly. All he really wants is to make friends. When he's out one day in the rain he hears a cry for help. Following the cry, Owly comes across a little worm who is trapped in a puddle of water. Owly saves him and makes his first friend! He nurses his worm friend back to help and they set out to find the worm's family. At first, the worm's mom and dad are scared of Owly, but then they find out that he's a vegetarian and share their dinner with him! Sadly, Owly has to leave the worm family, but his new friend decides to come home with him! They live together, gardening and bird watching until one day when a new bird begins zipping past them! Owly and the worm do some research and find out that it's a hummingbird. They buy some plants especially for the hummingbird and make TWO new friends! When the weather turns cold, the birds have to migrate to a warmer climate, but luckily they return the following spring.This was a very cute little story. There are very few words - the story it told almost solely through the amazing artwork. This is the first book in the Owly series. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a quick but sweet story and anyone who enjoys graphic novels.
