The Capture

by Kathryn Lasky
Book review by Thijmen, age 13.

            I have recently started reading the Guardians of Ga’Hoole series and I have to say they’re the best books that I have ever read. The books are filled with action, adventure, fantasy, romance, and legend. They’re awesome. I am finished reading book 3, but I want to talk about book 1, The Capture.
            Basically, it is about an owl named Soren who is just a chick right now and is waiting patiently while his new little sister is starting to hatch while his evil big brother Kludd is planning to get rid of Soren.
Soren is captured by the evil St. Aegolius School of Orphaned Owls where this owl is planning some kind of taking over the world thing and that’s where Soren gets taken to do horrible things.
            This is where he meets Gylfie, his best friend and they find a way to escape so they can go to the great Ga’Hoole tree where they become guardians of Ga’Hoole. But on their way they meet two new friends that will lead them to be the band of 4 friends—Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger.
            Will these 4 owls become some of the best Guardians ever, going on adventures and missions and places no owl has ever gone before?
And that’s book 1, The Capture.
