Along the Arctic circle lies a small island called Neversink, home to a colony of odd-looking sea birds called auks, including one Lockley J. Puffin. With their oceanfront views and plentiful supply of fish, the auks have few concernsfew, save for Lockley's two best friends, Egbert and Ruby, a know-it-all walrus and a sharp-tongued hummingbird.
But all of this is about to change. There is a famine on the mainland of Tytonia, and the king of the Owl Parliament has long had his scheming eyes on the small colony to the north. An insurgence of owls will inevitably destroy life as the auks know itunless Lockley can do something about it.
