The Journey (part of the GUARDIANS OF GA'HOOLE)

I read the book THE JOURNEY from the series GUARDIANS OF GA' HOOLE. Katheryn Lasky is the author of this book. This story is about an owl who goes on an adventure trying to put a stop to known and unknown forces of evil and finds his long lost sister in the process. I chose this book because it involves lots of adventures.

THE JOURNEY is a story of an owl named Soren and the rest of his friends -- Twilight (aka Twi), Digger, and Gylfie (aka Glyf) -- all join him in the struggle against the evil forces. While searching for the great Ga'Hoole tree, Soren runs into his old nest-maid snake, Mrs. Pithiver. When they come across a great storm, they decide to stop at a forest known as The Beaks. After the storm passes, they become aware of how much luxury is within The Beaks. Once Mrs. Pithiver snaps them out of their fantasy, she reminds them that they are on a mission to find the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. Once they find the tree, they are separated into what are known as chaws. Soren and Digger are put into a chaw where they have to pick up live coals in forest fires; Twilight was put into a search and rescue chaw to help save owlets caught in these fores fires; and Gylfie was put into a weather chaw. During a devastating forest fire, Digger is sent out with Twilight and they rescue Soren's sister Eglantine. All of the owlets are in some kind of trance that makes them babble on and on about the Glaux or the owls heaven.

Two things that I liked about the book were that there was a lot of action. The another thing that I liked about the book was that there was a lot of suspense. One thing that I didn't like about this book was that there was still too many unanswered questions at the end of the book. Another thing that I didn't like about THE JOURNEY was that they leave you hanging at the end of the story. This book is age appropriate for anyone who can read. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. Animal lovers and girls would manly be the ones to like this book- maybe Twilight fans .
