Now in paperback! Birdwatching! Borrrring, right? Not to these avian adventurers from Maynard Elementary as they fight a snowstorm to save a rare snowy owl.

An adventurous read for 7-to-10-year-olds about forging long-lasting friendships in this new chapter book series about a junior birdwatching club.

Michael, the star of the soccer team, is about to kick his first practice shot when he hears a noise from behind him. Jet, a bird nerd and member of the Junior Birdwatching Club, appears and shows Michael what he would have missed by being so singularly focused on the ball—a rare snowy owl on the goal post. While they watch, the owl captures a rat and devours it.

The next day, a hoard of birders arrive and Michael thinks he may never get his soccer field back. But Jet has discovered that the owl is not well and the Junior Birdwatching Club enlists Michael to help get the bird help during a snowstorm.

Michael promised his parents he'd be home before the snow started, but with a hurt owl, will he? Join Michael and his new friends as they use all their talents and knowledge to rescue the snowy owl.
