Every child needs to have a pet. No one could argue with that.

But what happens when your pet is an owl, and your owl is terrorizing the neighbourhood?

In Farley Mowat's exciting children's story, a young boy's pet menagerie—which includes crows, magpies, gophers and a dog—grows out of control with the addition of two cantankerous pet owls. The story of how Wol and Weeps turn the whole town upside down s warm, funny, and bursting with adventure and suspense.

This audiobook is expertly read by Paul Heitsch, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

      Max Louis's masterful narration will transport listeners to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where Billy and his friends explore the prairies. Louis's pace and tone skillfully follow Billy as he goes in search of an owlet to add to his menagerie of wild animals. Listeners will hear how Billy rescues two owlets he names Wol and Weep. The two owls have many comical run-ins with almost everyone in town. All the owls' adventures are told with wry humor--from bringing dead skunks to the dinner table and frightening Billy's teacher to riding in the family's car. Based on the author's own childhood, this is a great story for the whole family and an ideal one for adventuresome boys. L.C. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
