Rating:  Summary: A non-stop Page-turner Review: Do you want to read a book that is a non-stop page-turner? I could not put this book down and could not keep quiet about it! You have to read the trilogy Guardians of gahoole The Capture, The journey, and The Rescue. This is a story about a small loveable barn owl named Soren that is kidnapped and sent to a place called St. Aggie's School for orphan owls. But it enslaves the minds of the owls for an army. There Soren meets Gylfie and Twilight but Soren and Twilight can't fly, and that is their only means of escape. Gylfie has to teach them in secret (it sounded like a secret mission to me). After avoiding the vile school temporarily they meet Digger, a small desert owl who can't fly, so he runs (it was pretty funny to me). They band together searching the Great Gahoole tree in search of help Join Soren in an epic adventure. I give it 3 thumbs up! People who love adventures would love this book! There is amazing detail you would feel as if you were there with Soren! You won't regret reading this book!

Rating:  Summary: Connor gives this book five syars Review: I liked this book because it has a great plot and is very interesting. Owl's aren't my favorite but you don't have to love them to read this book. This book is adventurous with a lot of action. This book has many characters but is not confusing at all. I knew it was going to be a good book just by the first chapter. This book is about an owl named Soren. He is pushed out of his nest by his older brother Kludd. He is taken to St. Aegolius academy for orphaned owls were he meets a little elf owl named Glyfie. They want to escape from this place because the leaders torture the little owls. Once they get their flight feathers, they can escape from this horrible place. Another owl teaches them how to fly. Once the night is perfect, they take off for the sky. Landing in a tree, they meet Twilight who was taken by St. Aggies patrol but fights his way out of their hold. The three of them fly to the desert of Kuneer where they meet a burrowing owl named Digger; his brother's were taken to St. Aegolius. Since they are all orphans know they decided to start a mission to the Great Gahool Tree where they go out each night in the blackness and perform noble deeds. People who love adventure would die for this book. People who like owls should read this book for sure. You don't have to like owls to love this book, as long as you like adventure. This is a great book for teenagers.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: I read this book to my 5 year old son. He studied owls in school this fall so when I saw this series I knew he would enjoy it. He was captivated from the first chapter. The book grabbed his attention and held it. Many nights I received the plee of "just one more chapter please".... What's best is that I enjoyed this story as well.
Rating:  Summary: Guardian Review Review: Soren is in his hollow in the Forest Kingdom of Tyto. His mother and father are cramming themselves arount the nest. Soren's older brother, Kludd, is alsoby the nest. There is an egg in the nest. Soon, there is a "CRACK!" heard throughout the hollow. A female owl, whom Soren's parents named Eglantine, hatched out of the egg. Soren's parents go out hunting and Soren looks over the side of the hollow. He feels a shove on his back and he falls to the ground. He looks up, but sees nothing except tree trunk. Later in the night he gets snatched by a grayish looking owl and is taken to a place called St. Aegolius. When he gets there, he is gived a number, as all owls at St. Aegolius do. HIs number is 12-1. After that, he is taken to a big arent type place where he and the other owls have to march under the full moon, sleed in it (which is very bad for owls) and at set intervals they have to repeat their names so that they loose their individuality and become "moon blinked". Soren and Gylfie find a way to escape the moon blinking, but get caught. They are in the pelletorium one day and Soren sends Gylfie to get some more pellets from the kitchen. On the way, she sees a library where a Boreal Owl is standing guard. His name is Grimble. Gylfie tells Soren and they talk to this owl together. He says that he can help them get out of St. Aegolius. So Gylfie and Soren sneak off and get lessons from Grimle. Soon, he says they are ready to fly!
