PROGRAMME 3: SELB number: RM 0738
27 January 2009 11.40 am
Blaisín and Charlie retreat from the thumping music at the school fundraiser disco in an attempt to save their throbbing ears. Over a quiet milkshake, they are reacquainted with the magical owl, Ceann Cait, but discover that the food humans eat can have harmful effects on our animal friends.
The owl’s navigation skills are impaired and after a discussion on local place names, the trio ends up trapped in a cyber ocean inside Blaisín’s computer! As they are bashed around by the stormy weather, will Charlie remember enough weather words to bring them back to safety?
