Seven Arctic explorers, one Snowy Owl—what could possibly go wrong? Join Arcturus and his pals Lena, Captain Donald MacMillan, and a crew of friendly research sailors aboard the lovely schooner Bowdoin in 1934. The wounded Snowy Owl gets a lift from Portland, Maine, to his Arctic homeland. On the way, everyone learns something new in this children’s story inspired by a true adventure. June 1934. Inspired by a true story. The schooner Bowdoin set off from Portland, Maine, with a crew of brave explorers and one Snowy Owl. Arcturus, shot by a hunter, had been rescued by the Audubon Society, but he'd missed his migratory trip north with his flock. Though unused to such an illustrious shipmate, the crew came to love him, but their mission was to take him home to Anetalak Bay, Labrador, and set him free before the weather got too warm. And so they did.
