Fantasy & magical realism (Children's/YA)
Description
Three female scientists live on an abandoned factory site, the Owls’ site, and pretend to be homeless. They maintain a number of well-calculated deceptions in order to avoid detection. Only the children cannot be deterred and come to the site to pursue their activities. That is why the researchers need a bogeyman. A student friend, wrestler and now author of children's books, seems suitable. But which secret are they trying to protect? The women observe an extremely rare bird during reproduction and care of the brood. There's a secret about it that will only be revealed at the very end: Its plumage is like a magic hood. How this works would of course be highly interesting for the weapons industry, hence the strict secrecy. External threats must be warded off and the pitfalls of living together must be mastered.
