An Odd Friendship Between a Crow and an Owl

Crows and owls are supposed to be enemies.

When the brutal Harris Hawks — known as the Wolf Pack of the Sky — start terrorizing the entire forest, one bold crow decides that enough is enough. Kadeem teams up with Wayne, a wise and wary owl, to form the most unlikely team Oakridge Forest has ever seen: the Misfits of the Sky.

 

With a speedy crow sibling, a spin-happy young owl, and two clever tortoise spies, they enter the Forest Flyers Challenge—a thrilling relay race that will decide who controls the best nesting grounds and berry patches. The Hawks play dirty. They stack high to spot prey, set traps, and cheat to win.

 

But the Misfits have something the Hawks don’t: friendship, courage, and the belief that even misfits can change the forest forever. A fast-paced, heartwarming adventure about breaking old grudges, standing up to bullies, and proving that the strongest pack is the one no one saw coming.
