    Guardians of Gahoole

    Guardians of Ga’Hoole

    Written by Kathryn Lasky

    Ages: 9-12 | 240 Pages

    Publisher: Scholastic Inc | ISBN-13: 978-1616648862

    What to expect: Animals

    When Soren, a young owlet, mysteriously falls from his nest one evening, he’s plucked up and taken to the sinister St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. Once there, he must use his wits and bravery to escape his captors. If Soren can learn to fly, he might just be able to take refuge with a group of brave owls he’d thought only to be a legend—the Guardians of Ga’Hoole!

    43. tree on September 30, 2010 4:36 am

      My son has read almost all of the books, they really are good! We saw the movie past weekend, it’s a beautiful film…but sort of missed the real spirit of the books. i suppose that should be expected for the movie version. My boy just bought the Lone wolf book and is eager to start these! Really great books!
