First there was Wol, and then there was Weeps. Billy knows the land around Saskatoon as well as his own yard, and when he sets out to acquire a great horned owlet, he ends up with a pair that think they're humans. Wol is smart and fearless; Weeps never believes he can fly. The story breaks all the modern rules about interacting with wildlife, but is fun and funny and poignant.
