«The Owl Tree» is Jenny Nimmo's children's fantasy novel, published by Walker Childrens Paperbacks in paperback (96 pages, in English).
Joe faces a mystery: the owl tree is much more than a tree, for it shudders and seems to speak. Granny Diamond, who once saw an owl among its branches, loves it deeply, but Mr Rock wants to cut it down. Joe, a fearful boy, must discover the tree's secret and gather the courage to defend it.
The work was first published in 1997 and won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize in the 6-8 years category.
Aimed at readers aged 7 to 11, with an interest in children's fantasy, animals and nature.
