When Owl crashes into a tree one time too many, Meg decides he must be sent to flight school, dispatching him to Mr. Winko and Ms. Bats' academy. There he makes some new friends - Tawny, Barny, Titch, Big ears - and learns some new skills. When School Sports night arrives, he performs with distinction, and the whole party returns to Meg's house for tea.

This twelfth entry in the Meg and Mog series focuses on Owl, who, although not referred to in the series name, is an integral part of the ongoing story. It features the same simple text and brightly colored illustrations that made the previous entries in the series so appealing, and is sure to please young readers who enjoy witchy fare, or who are Meg and Mog (AND Owl!) fans.

Addendum: having just tracked down a copy of Meg Comes to School, which was published in 2011, and which I had believed to be the twentieth entry in the Meg and Mog series, I can report that it is in fact a reprint of Owl at School, with a new name. I'm glad to see this story remains available, even if under a different title. ( )
