O.W.L.s Readathon 2020

I was actually kind of excited finding out all these years later after watching the film, that it was actually based on a book series, and even though middle grade isn't my favorite genre, there have been a few exceptions (i.e. the first few Harry Potter books). Sadly I did not enjoy this. There's so many interesting ideas, I just love the fact that this is told from the perspective of owls, but I couldn't help but be utterly bored through most of this. It felt like next to nothing really happened over the span of 200 pages. But I don't think this is a bad book, it's just not for me.

I’m rereading this series from my childhood for a trip down nostalgia lane, and boy do I still love this book. Cute, fun and adventurous with a quirky set of characters and a fun setting.

Read this in a morning’s time lol. I’m revisiting these for the first time since I read them as a kid. Everything in St. Aggie’s is very interesting. Twilight and Digger are thrown in too quickly. Surprisingly violent at times!
