Tag the owl, Skyla the squirrel, and Blaze the newly hatched firehawk, journey north to the Crystal Caverns searching for the next piece of the magical Ember Stone--but the evil vulture Thorn is also after the stone, and his ice leopards are close behind the heroes.

While his mother is away finding food, a newborn owl falls out of his nest and anxiously tries to find her, receiving help from various forest animals.

How is Owl supposed to sleep the day away with the bees buzzing, the woodpecker pecking, the doves cooing, and the squirrels crunching? But when night falls and everything is finally quiet, suddenly there's a new sound--and it's coming from Owl!

Now that Tag and Skyla have found Blaze's firehawk family they would like to return home to Perodia, even if it means leaving their friend behind; but in order to find the magic that will open a new portal they must first brave a mysterious underground maze where the walls are constantly shifting--and when they do find their way home there is a deadly surprise waiting for them.

Now that Thorn has been defeated, Tag and his friend Skyla embark on a new quest, to find Blaze's lost family and the other firehawks who disappeared through a portal to the Cloud Kingdom; but the Cloud Kingdom is full of new dangers, and when giant birds seize Blaze and carry her off Tag and Skyla are left to try and free their friend--with only a magic map to guide them, and the threat of the shadowy shape that seems to be following them.

Little Owl gets angry when other animals say he is adorable because he wants to be strong, smart, brave, and fearsome, but lucky for him, his wise mother lets Little Owl know that he is everything he wants to be, and just a bit adorable.

Their magical map is leading Tag, Skyla, and Blaze closer and closer to The Shadowlands, Thorn's territory--but now the Ember Stone has fallen into the well-named Lullaby Lake, which is defended by fairies who sing intruders to sleep, and the friends must figure out a way to convince the "nixies" to help them retrieve it before Thorn gets his claws on it.

Owl wakes up and is ready to play, but all his friends are sleeping.

All Owly wants is a friend... Owly is a good-natured little owl, and he's always helping those around him. But despite his kindness, he seems to frighten would-be friends away before they even give him a chance, just because he's an owl. That all changes, though, once Owly meets Wormy. Like Owly, Wormy is in need of a good friend, too -- someone who can be counted on for a helping hand, a good laugh, and a great adventure!

While other animals sleep at night, some quietly and others noisily, some alone and others huddled together, a wide-eyed owl watches.
