Synopsis

Oksi-the daughter of the legendary falcon Frightful- does things her own way. And when a poacher climbs the steel girders of a bridge to Frightful's nest, Oksi's refusal to act like her brothers keeps her from being captured. Unfortunately, Frightful (who can't count) thinks the man has stolen all of her babies, and she abandons the nest. Luckily, Frightful's friend Sam Gribley comes to Oksi's aid. This delightful continuation of the story from Frightful's Mountain serves as a great introduction for young readers to the lessons of forest life.

Goodreads review by Caroline on February 12, 2023

Nice book. The story is interesting and told pretty well. There are falcon facts scattered throughout the book and I definitely learned a thing or two by the end. I believe there are other books about Frightful that might have added depth to this story, if I had read them first. The illustrations ar......more
