Follow the journey of a pocket-sized stone owl, carved by a Lenape Indian boy in 1609, through four centuries as it travels along the Hudson River in New York State. In each exciting chapter, the stone owl is discovered by a new owner, a boy or girl to whom the owl brings good luck or courage in the thrilling adventures that unfold.
