The Academy is set on an island in a lake, somewhere in Canada, and is run mainly by owls. It is a benign regime (not a dystopia like Animal Farm) under the kindly, wise and newly-elected principal Oswald Owl. The whole policy is to educate the students in every sense of the word: the school mantra is 'Recognise All Successes, Great and Small'. Various problems arise and are dealt with (e.g. bullying on Bird/Animal Facebook, excessive use of smart O-phones by students, computer hacking, owl anorexia and veganism, pill-popping, hate texts, self-harming ...), things even a younger readership might well be aware of, or relate to... there are little lessons in philosophy and ethics along the way; life's lessons, really.
