Guardians of Ga'hoole: The Capture



Guardians of Ga’hoole: The Capture by Kathryn Lasky is the book I chose for this book review. It is an interesting book with suspense and mystery. One thing, though, that surprised me more than anything else was this, the book is about owls. I chose this book because the back cover looked interesting and I heard from a friend that the book was good.
In this book a young Barn Owl named Soren, born in the Forest of Tyto of the Southern Kingdom, falls from his tree. Soon afterwards, he is saved by strange owls that then capture him and take him to a strange and forbidding canyon. The owls call it an orphanage, but it seems more like a prison to Soren. There he meets Gylfie a young Elf Owl who was captured by these cruel owls as well. Together they plan to escape, but the only way out is to fly, something they have never before done.
In this book there were things I liked, but also things I didn’t. One thing I liked was the way the author described the setting. Another thing I liked was the suspense; it was hard to see what would happen next. One thing I disliked was the underdevelopment of some of the characters. Another thing I disliked was I think they should have added more to the book, it was too short. All in all, I would recommend it to kids nine and up perfect for animal lovers, boys, and girls.
