If you loved Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, you'll love the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series by Kathryn Lasky. The owls who populate theis series are all different kinds of owls with unique personalities but they work together as the Guardians. No people in these books but there are plenty of "lessons" to be learned from how the owls interact and how they deal with the situations in which they find themselves. Fascinating books and a lot in the series (15) so lots of good reading!

I didn't enjoy the fact that this book was focused on Eglantine (which might be my least favorite character in the series). Moreover, the plot was too obvious, except some details, and the fact that the owls didn't realize sooner what was going on was contradictory, since they have shown their great intelligence and intuition in previous books. Nevertheless, I am glad to come back to the band and their fight against the Pure Ones plus the tirany that this group, as well as St. Aggies, represents, defending freedom and inventiveness.

I loved this short little book. It was surprisingly thrilling and very interesting. After seeing the movie I wanted to know what else happened Eglantine, so I bought this book fir half it's price and finished it in a week. It's shirt books like these that make me enjoy reading. The wording is great and it's NOT purple prose and the pacing is just right. Kathryn Laskey is a master of the short form of kid books! This is NOT your average kid book.

Interesting!
