About book Wabi: A Hero's Tale (2000)

I enjoyed this story. It was an interesting twist on shape-shifting animals that turn into humans for love. Wabi is an interesting Character that is hatched an owl and is raised by his great grandmother to become the biggest owl and very smart. I like that he is entranced by the human girl and falls in love with her. Even after she turns him down he still tries to do what is best for him and his pet to rescue the wolves. It is a good story of a hero and love. I would recommend this book. I think Joseph Bruchac is my new favorite author! He weaves an incredible tale of suspense and leaves you wanting more. Wabi is the first book of Bruchac's that I've read and I absolutely loved it! I wanted to give it 10 stars! Wabi has a lot going on as it follows than transition from owl to man. We learn so much about Wabi's character from even the first chapter. As an owlet he is bullied by his brother and shows a great amount of courage only to be pushed out of their nest. He soon meets a "friendly" predator on the ground and at the last minute Great-Grandmother shows up. Great-Grandmother stays with Wabi and raises him as her own. Wabi learns he can understand the language of the two-legged. While growing up he meets many interesting animals and has some incredible adventures. I liked how Wabi described Dojihla and when he realizes he loves her and will never be with another owl, because of her. Wabi learning to use his new human body and figuring out how clothes work were very well written. His eagerness to learn made me instantly want him to have a great life. Upon arriving at Dojihla's village he is politely welcomed and enters an interesting contest. I liked the innocence that Wabi has since he is new to being human and his eagerness to learn is very believable. Dojihla on the other hand is a harder character to like at first. She bullies other people and is just plain rude at times... not to mention stubborn! Wabi's journey to find Malsumsis' family is actually very exciting! You will meet all sorts of new mythical type creature and see the bravery of both Malsumsis and Wabi. This book also shares a few secrets with us along the way. I'm sure this story will stay with me for a while and I will definitely end up buying it!
