Bookroo's summary

Owl, a determined knight, may be small, but his sharp instincts are vital as knights mysteriously vanish. During his watch, a terrifying intruder challenges him. Can Owl's cleverness and courage protect the castle from danger? In a world where size often dictates strength, Owl's wit and heart might just redefine heroism. As he confronts a hungry dragon, the stakes are high, and the outcome uncertain. Will Owl's bravery and friendship be enough to triumph over this formidable foe? Discover a tale where intelligence and humor shine brighter than any sword.

From the publisher

A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart. Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. He may not be the biggest or the strongest, but his sharp nocturnal instincts can help protect the castle, especially since many knights have recently gone missing. While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trial–a frightening intruder. It’s a daunting duel by any measure. But what Owl lacks in size, he makes up for in good ideas. Full of wordplay and optimism, this surprising display of bravery proves that cleverness (and friendship) can rule over brawn.
