When Olivia moves to a small town in the Overberg, her quiet curiosity attracts a mischievous friend: Kay, the girl with the scar, who gives her the nickname “Owl.” Her impulse to follow the rebel leads to uncharted waters. Jon Keevy’s A Girl Called Owl is a South African coming of age story. It spotlights innocence lost, creativity stifled, and love misunderstood.

Larissa Crafford-Lazarus plays Owl and Kay and a slew of other characters they encounter while they are growing up, getting out, and going looking for trouble.
