"Tender and authentic-a worthy conclusion to a wondrous series." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)In a soaring conclusion to a moving trilogy, national treasure Kate DiCamillo shows how friendship, trust, and stories-lived and shared-transform us.Orris and Timble are friends. Orris is a rat, Timble is an owl, and they meet each night in an old barn to share stories. One night, Timble asks a fateful question: Why dont you ever leave the barn, Orris? Strong and brave, the owl offers to carry the rat on his back. Orris will be able to see it all for himself-the rivers and fish, roads and farms, mountains and coyotes. But why would Orris leave the barn when all he needs is there: his books, the moon and stars above, and Timbles nightly tales of high-flying adventure? What would you do if you had the chance to fly? In the final installment of an exquisitely illustrated and deeply felt early-reader trilogy, two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo reveals how trust and friendship can lift us into our best lives.
