![]() Hailey treats Eva rudely on a couple different occasions. The reason given is mostly because Eva had a busy weekend and couldn't hang out with Lucy. Not only that, but Lucy shuns Eva for the rest of the week. So Hailey winds up sitting next to Lucy, and they become friends. Then on Hailey's first day, Eva asks if she and Lucy can sit at different desks so Hailey doesn't have to sit next to the mean owl, Sue. Lucy completely understands that sometimes people have busy weekends. She's so busy that she doesn't have time to hang out with her best friend, Lucy. So Eva has a busy weekend, doing homework and getting a feather-cut as well as getting a couple things ready for the new owl. She's really excited, and wants to welcome the new owl. Then Eva finds out that a new owl named Hailey will be coming to school. This has barely anything to do with the plot, but the author wastes 2/3 of a chapter talking about it. ![]() So, Eva's class is making a newspaper and they each get jobs. Okay, so this book is about an owl named Eva who writes in a diary. Friendship can be confusing and frustrating! I think young girls understand all too well about the ups and downs and ins and outs of friendship. I think the theme of this one is true to the age of the audience. Eva finds herself alone.Ĭan Eva learn an important lesson about friendship? And Lucy and Hailey are becoming closer and closer and closer. No matter how hard she tries, Hailey is not becoming her best friend. But when her plan to change seats so that Hailey can sit by her backfires-Hailey chooses to sit in Eva's old seat, the one by Lucy, Eva's best-best friend, Eva is left confused and frustrated. Eva makes her a welcome necklace and a special drawing-a map. In her mind, the two are already close friends. Eva really, really, really, really wants Hailey to be her friend. Second, Eva's class will be welcoming a new owl, Hailey. Other classmates have other jobs for the paper. First, Eva's class has started a newspaper. Each book focuses on school life and home life with relationships between friends and family being very important. But there is something about the series that I think will appeal to young girls-think ages five to eight. The illustrations and puns may both be on the cutesy style. She has strong opinions, and, is thoroughly likable. Eva, the heroine, is an owl who keeps a diary. If you're unfamiliar with the previous books, you could probably pick up any book in the series and catch up. If you've read any of the previous books in the series, you know what to expect from this one. Eva and the New Owl is the fourth book in Rebecca Elliott's Owl Diaries series.
