Review Detail

Reader reviewed by nelka35

This is the first book in the series of "Guardians of Ga'hoole". Guardians of Ga'hoole are owls who do good, who "perform noble deeds". Owlets(baby owls) are brought up on these legends.
But not every owl is good. And Soren encounters the evil very young, before he even had his first flight. Captured by snatchers and taken to St.Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls, he, along with many other young owls, is brainwashed there. But he makes friends, and together they resist being brainwashed and develop a plan, and finally manage to escape. And the rest - what happens after - is in the next books in the series, which are all as excellent as this one is. I highly recommend this book and the whole series to anyone who likes animal fantasy and adventure.
