When Soren is pushed from his family's nest by his older brother, he is rescued by representatives from a mysterious school for orphaned owls, St. Aggie's. When Soren arrives at St. Aggie's, he suspects there is more to the school than meets the eye. He and his new friend, a clever female elf owl named Gylfie, find out that St. Aggie's is actually a training camp where the school's leader is grooming young owls to help achieve her goal, which threatens the lives of owls everywhere.

This is a great book to read. Soren and Gylfie are captured and sent to st. Aggies. Some owls there are pretty cruel. After they get there they get a new name. For instance, Soren's is: 12-1. I've read part of it though.

This series is a great one to read when you love animals and fantasy. The owls do some amazing things!

Again it is about owls. I love the base story. It is just so intering! Anyone who is looking at my profile, yah that is you, should read it. Sereosly.

i love this book so much and the series too!!!

These books are amazing! It does have some violence, but it really does express the meaning of the book(s). I highly recommend these books. Summary: An owlet named Soren is pushed from his nest and is captured by a St. Aggies. He escapes with his friend Gylfie; and they head for a place called the Great Ga'hoole Tree, and meet friends along the way. The gang later runs into The Pure Ones. These evil owls belive they are considered "pure". Can Soren and his friends stop them from conquering the entire owl kindom(s) and ruling them? Read the indescribable series to find out!

I love this book! A young Owl named Soren is snatched by St. Aggie's patrols. He meets Gylfie, and they plan thier escape! Then they meet Twilight and Digger..... Read to find out more....

I love your taste of books! All of y'all give me a high-five 4 Guardians of Ga'hoole and Wolves of The Beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

I absolutely love this series of books. I was instantly hooked on them after the first few chapters. If anyone out there has watched the movie and has not read any of the books - even if you did not like the movie - I highly recommend these books ages 10 and up. I will admit they are violent but, if you read them you must enjoy them that way. They're all about heroism, adventure, and fighting but, still in a more kid-like way. They are very enjoyable. You will, laugh, learn, frown, and love. The only reason I say frown is because of getting attached or reading something sad or disappointing. But, that's what makes this book so good. They really are terrific. :)

My gosh, this series is amazing! I highly recommend it! I would also have to say it's different than the movie

it is so cool i love it
