Red-Tailed Rescue #2
Red-Tailed Odyssey
The junior class of the Prairie Winds School of Flight has flown over two hundred miles to compete in the annual South Dakota competition for red-tailed hawks.
Two days later with the competition completed, they depart for home despite threatening weather. The happy young flyers eagerly take to the air, their youthful hearts beating as one. But eight hours into their twelve-hour flight, they disappear without a trace.
When Kate Flannery, a friend of the hawks since the age of twelve, learns the class has gone missing, she launches a rescue mission. Heading off into the teeth of the South Dakota storm, Kate is determined to find the missing young red-tailed hawks.
However, Kate finds herself facing a much worse threat than the dangers of the blizzard. Once again, hawks and humans must unite to help save those they love.

If you read Red-Tailed Rescue than it is a must for you to read its sequel, Red-Tailed Odyssey! They both are so clever and certain to keep any age entertained.

As someone who frequently has conversations with animals both domestic and wild, it doesn't surprise me to find a book where hawks can talk to humans. Even better, the hawks have specially made cell phones and can call or text humans too!
In Red-Tailed Rescue, a human named Kate made friends with Orville the Red-tailed hawk. In this book, the friendship continues with Kate heading out into a winter storm to help her friends the hawks. Hawks and humans work together to recover from peril and tragedy (and I'm not telling what happens, because I hate spoiling the story).
I am still delighted by the window into the parallel society of red-tailed hawks. I enjoy the well-developed characters, and I am charmed by the idea that people can treat animals (hawks, in this case) as equals.
Overall, I loved this book and highly recommend it!

Different but Excellent!
A different take on The Odyssey; draws you in and makes one want to expand beyond the current story, including other books in the series.
