Journey

Rating:
Summary: A beautifully and sensitively written book.
Review: As they travel towards the Island of Hoole and the mythic Great Ga'Hoole Tree, Soren the barn owl and his traveling companions discover that there are many wondrous places in the lands of the Southern Kingdoms. They encounter a number of obstacles, which they face together as a band. Each member of the band contributes something and has some degree of strength that comes to the fore in times of trouble or stress.

After many adventures and frightening experiences, the young owls at last find the island that rests in the Sea of Hoolemere. They also learn that the Ga'Hoole tree is no myth. It exists and is even more remarkable in reality than any tale made it out to be. Soon, Soren and his friends are part of the extraordinary community of owls that live within the tree.

In this beautifully and sensitively written book, Kathryn Lasky has continued to build on the world she created in Book One, where owls are a very elite group of birds, proud and separate from the other animals. In no time, the reader is caught up in a story where both dreadful and wonderful things happen. As Soren struggles to understand his new environment, he slowly begins to learn that there is more to life than just what he sees, hears and touches. Soren's realization about his own abilities is an exceptionally strong and powerful element in THE JOURNEY. There is also the discovery by the owls that live in the Great Ga'Hoole Tree that something truly dreadful is happening to the baby owls in the Southern Kingdoms. We are left hanging, wanting to know what this evil is, and at the same time fearing for the welfare of these owls.

Because the owls possess both strengths and weaknesses, readers will have no problems identifying with, and growing fond of, the characters that Kathryn Lasky has created.

Summary: The best sequel ever
Review: I decided to read The Journey because I read the prequel, The Capture. I like this book because it really shows how the owls interact. It's like the owls are real people that talk, walk, and have fun with each other. There are no people in this book. Just owls, snakes, and other birds, but it's really just an owl book. This second book still has Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, Digger, and a lot of other new characters. They make friends, and learn a lot of new skills at the Great Ga'Hoole tree.
At the end of The Capture, the four owls are a band to never split up and make it their quest to find the Great Ga'Hoole tree. Their journey to find the tree is exciting. About ¼ way into the book, the king and queen of Hoole find them, and lead them to the tree. When the four owls reach the tree, they learn about different chaws, which are different groups that you are selected into to preform certain deeds to help the world. Even Mrs. P, the blind snake, was back to doing what she longed to do, being a nest maid snake. The four owls soon find out that it's almost guarenteed that they won't be selected for the same chaw. While Soren is living his liufe at the Great Ga'Hoole tree, his thoughts of his sister, Eglantine, worry him. Was she captured by St. Aggies? Is she all right?
I truly recommend this book to anyone who has read The Capture. If you haven't read The Journey, but read The Capture, your mind must be going crazy to read the second book. It's really that good. It takes off exactly where The Capture ended. If you haven't read the first book in a little while, don't worry. The Journey reviews a lot. It's your choice. Do you want to find out about Eglantine? What's life like at the Great Ga'Hoole tree? Read The Journey, by Kathryn Lasky to find out.

Summary: "You only wish"
Review: I liked this book because it left me wondering what would happen next. I couldn't believe he met his sister when I thought she was dead. It kept me questioning and interested in reading more and more. Sometimes I couldn't put it down. I learned alot about owls. "You only wish" referred to a place even worse than St. Aggies. It made me question why it was worse and want to get the third book to find the answer.

Summary: I can't stop reading this series
Review: I liked this book because it was very interesting and had a great plot. What made this story terrific were the characters. Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger were amazing. They fight of enemies rescue owlets and everything else owls do. The four main characters really made this story awesome. My favorite part of the book is when Soren flies into a forest fire to retrieve coals for the great Ga'hoole tree. That's just one of the great parts. I can't wait to read the third book of this series.

This book is about a band of owls that are sent out to find the great Ga'hoole tree because they lost their families. At the Ga'hoole tree owls go out each night to perform noble deeds. When they arrive they are given their own hollow. Soon they will be put into chaws. A chaw is a group of owls who perform noble deeds like the search and rescue chaw. A weird thing happens to this search and rescue chaw, injured owlets start popping out of nowhere. They happen to come upon a strange owl that looks just like Soren. The owl is Soren's sister, Eglantine. When that is done one of the owls is missing, Ezylryb, Soren teacher wasn't there. Soren and his sister are sent out to find him.

People who like adventure and a little fantasy should read this book for sure.Teenager should also read this book because there are some hard words.

Summary: A great follow-up to The Capture
Review: In the second book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, the story of Soren and the gang continues. I had been waiting since the release of The Capture to find out what happens; The Journey does not disappoint. The band of owls leave St. Aggie's behind to find new adventures, and encounters scores of new creatures. Once again, the author introduces us to fascinating species of owls and other birds. The descriptions of flying are terrific--you can almost feel the wind in your hair. Now, if only the next book in the series will come out sooner...

This book is about an owl called Soren and his friends, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger. They fly to the safest place for owls, The Ga'hool Tree. The band of owls make new friends. Soren is put into a weather class where they have to fly through storms. Twilight and Digger were put into a rescue class where they have to save owls.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes owls and adventures.

Summary: Jakes wonder Journey reveiw
Review: The book I read was the Journey book two of the Guardians of Ga' hoole, which is a great book. That's what makes it an inspiration to get someone hooked on fantasy books and just to read and have fun doing it. There's one more reason why I liked this book. The author, Kathryn Lansky, put in bits and pieces of the first book to give you an idea of who and what the characters are. Along with what they've done and what they haven't done. So, even if you haven't read the first book, you'll love the Journey.

The Journey, is about a band of orphaned owls that are on a journey to the great Ga ' Hoole tree. This band of owls, include, Soren, a Barn owl, Gylfie, a Elf owl, Digger a burowing owl, Gylfie and Digger are both from Kuneer. Twilight, the biggest owl of them all, the Great Gray is from everywhere because he was raised by a handful of different animals. This band of owls' purpose is to try and find their parents and go to the Great Ga' Hoole tree to learn how to help and protect owls of all kinds. The most exciting part of the Journey is when they get there and get separated into speacial chaws or jobs to protect and save other owls. There's also a little surprise family member waiting for Soren.

I would recommend this book to people interested in fantasy and adventure. This book is a book for pretty much everyone because even if you don't care for fantasy, the author will hook you.
