I am in love with Mr. Lindstrom, my science techer. I have found out where he lives and every night perch on a tree branch outside his bedroom window and watch him sleep in his underwear: Fruit of the Loom size 34.
Like her ancestors, Owl Tycho is a shape-shifer - an apparently normal fourteen-year-old girl who can change into an owl at wil. Unfortunately for Owl, Mr. Lindstrom is twenty-six years her senior, married, and living in a split-level in the suburbs. Still, Owl keeps watch nightly over Mr. Lindstrom - and as she does, she notices a strange owl and a wild, vicious boy lurking in the woods outside his home. Sinister shadows are gathering around her loved one. Does Owl have the wisdom and courage to protect him?
This is a weird book. I like Kindl's writing but this is certainly a bit different from her other stuff. The idea of the were-owl is well fleshed out (although the thought of a were-owl eating dead mice while in human form was just yucky). The plot line was pretty predictable, but not more so than most other light teen stuff.
