2008: Billy Hazelnuts is back for the first time since his acclaimed 2006 Eisner Award-winning debut. Life has settled back to normal in the old house. Becky and her mom are getting used to having Billy around, despite his strong odor. Nothing could be better, aside from a jumpy relationship with the cat. One day Billy heard screeching in the backyard and runs out to find a very large owl attacking his housemate. Billy chases off the owl, but soon discovers the owl has left an egg in its nest. When the egg hatches, it's up to Billy to reunite the baby owl with his mother, and the two head off into the deep, deep woods in search of her.
