The Capture , first of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, is the story of a young
owl named Soren who is captured and taken to a horrible place where young owls from
all over the kingdom are basically brainwashed into forgetting who they are and
made to work mining "fleck". The story if filled with adventure and suspense and
quite a lot of mystery. How did Soren fall from his nest? Did his sister and
nest-maid survive? Will Soren and Gylfie escape or will they, too, succumb to the
mind-numbing effects of moon-blanking? What is the purpose of the flecks and what
is housed in the mysterious "orphanage" library. Don't be surprised if you find
yourself wanting to learn more about these amazing creatures.
Recommended for Grades 4-8, this series will appeal to readers who like adventure
and suspense and stories with animals as the main characters, such as the Redwall
series by Jacques and the NIMH series by O'Brien.
