About the Author:Ĭhristopher Denise spent much of his childhood in Shannon, Ireland, exploring castles and dreaming of great adventures. Full of wordplay and optimism, this surprising display of bravery proves that cleverness (and friendship) can rule over brawn. But what Owl lacks in size, he makes up for in good ideas. While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trial-a frightening intruder. He may not be the biggest or the strongest, but his sharp nocturnal instincts can help protect the castle, especially since many knights have recently gone missing. Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. A Caldecott Honor Winner and New York Times Bestseller! A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart.
