Finally, the books that started the best-selling Guardians of Ga'Hoole adventure story.
Deep in the Forest of Tyto the adventure takes wing!
Soren is born in a forest kingdom where Barn Owls have lived in peace for eons. But evil now lurks in the owl world, an evil that will shatter Tyto's peace and change Soren's life forever.
In the first four books of this popular series Soren and his band make their way to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree where they will join with like-minded owls - honest, brave, wise and true - to boldly face danger and be tested in ways they never imagined.
Kathryn Lasky is the American author of many critically acclaimed books, including several Dear America books, several Royal Diaries books, 1984 Newbery Honor winning Sugaring Time, The Night Journey, and the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series.
She was born June 24, 1944, and grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, and is married to Christopher Knight, with whom she lives in Massachusetts.
Book 15, The War of the Ember, is currently the last book in the Ga'Hoole series. The Rise of a Legend is the 16th book but is a prequel to the series. Lasky has also written Guide Book To The Great Tree and Lost Tales Of Ga'Hoole which are companion books.
its really good book. I like the way reader tells us a story. Its basically good against bad. Its pretty bloody story for children young age. Other then that book is really good and people i think would like it.
Got this in fifth grade and quickly became obsessed with owls. The stories were great, but the facts I learned about the birds sent me to find more about them and they're still my favorite animal. The story of Soren and his friends as they must face the fact that they have fallen from the nest and been kidnapped by an evil organization that they must learn how to fly in order to escape. I've read them about five times and gone through the whole series, a must read for any middle schooler!
Ah! This was my childhood, and I have so many sweet memories of this series. It's likely going to get me to try and dive into trying to write animal fantasy myself. But yes, I adore Soren, I remember him from long ago. I remember cheering those owls on and so many of those battles. This series is one of those that sparked my joy of reading and possibly writing, too. Thank you for letting me visit this world and learn many valuable lessons. Oh yes, and this series made me ADORE owls. Especially barn owls, which are my favorite.
