Wonderful series allowing the reader to enter the world and order of owls. My kiddo read 9 books over the course of a year. I would call it fantasy, but on the lighter side. Ms. Lasky is a wonderful writer. Great for later elementary age groups.

A present from my son :) I read it on holiday, was a nice light read, targeted at young adults, but was nice enough... I won't be reading any more in the series - but as always, the book was far better than the movie!

This was my obsession in fourth grade. seven years later, I still know more than I'm comfortable admitting about owls. The story is a little hazy in my mind, but these books hold a special place in my heart. They took me from the casual reader to the taking-a-book-home-every-day-and-reading-it-under-the-blanket-till-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning-and-talking-nonstop-about-books person I am today. I shared them with my brother when he was in fourth grade, and it became our thing. We talked about battle claws and named our chickens after the villains and called people wet-poopers (we thought we were hilarious). I read the Ezylryb story, too, and it was the cherry on top (although it was a very emotionally heavy cherry). These books are so meticulously planned and thought-out. They are the kind of book you should have on your home shelf if you have developing readers--also make sure you buy all of them, not just the first couple. They are worth following through to the end. They are not lighthearted kid-ish children's literature, but they inspire the warrior every nine-year-old thinks he/she is. Also, don't bother watching the movie; it's not at all faithful to the books.
Great books for developing readers.

So far I've only read 4 books in the series, but I will definitely read the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one.... (well you got my point). The adventure is exciting without being too complicated. Who would have ever thought eating a vole or rat can be described in most delicious way. I love Soren, he is the perfect hero.
