ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Grade 4-8-At the beginning of this new series a young Barn Owl named Soren lives peacefully with his family participating in rituals like the First Meat ceremony and enjoying legends about the Guardians of GaHoole knightly owls who would rise each night into the blackness and perform noble deeds. After he falls from his nest his idyllic world transforms into one of confusion and danger as he is captured by evil chick-snatching owls and taken to the St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. Soren and his new friend Gylfie work to develop strategies for withstanding moon blinking (brainwashing) while secretly striving to learn how to fly. The legends of GaHoole help them to survive and they are able to escape to find their families and warn the world about the dangers of St. Aegolius. While the owls have human characteristics such as Sorens determination and Gylfies creative ideas their actions and culture reflect Laskys research into owl behaviors and species. The storys fast pace menacing bad guys and flashes of humor make this a good choice for reluctant readers while the underlying message about the power of legends provides a unifying element and gives strong appeal for fantasy fans.
