The Capture
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Soren is born in the forest of Tyto, a tranquil kingdom where the Barn Owls dwell. But evil lurks in the owl world, evil that threatens to change Soren's life forever.
Soren is captured and taken to a dark and forbidding canyon where there is a mysterious school. It's called an orphanage, but Soren believes it's something far worse.
He and his new friend, the clever and scrappy Gylfie, find out that the orphanage is actually a training camp. Soren and Gylfie know that the only way out is up. To escape, they will need to do something these fledglings have never done before—fly. And so begins a magical journey. Along the way, Soren and Gylfie meet Twilight and Digger. The four owls band together to seek the truth, be reunited with their families, and protect the owl world from unimaginable danger.

- content: Soren, a barn owlet, is knocked from his nest by a nasty older brother and kidnapped by evil chick-snatching owls. Snatched from his idyllic world of family life and knightly lore--"first meat," "first bones," first fir"--Soren is taken to an orphanage where he meets an elf owl. Together they devise humorous methods to avoid "moon blinking," a form of brainwashing, while scheming about how to learn to fly so they can escape. Captivating rhythm and rhyme, coupled with clear articulation and vocal nuance, define each charming character, and fun sounds of the forest provide ambience. Extensively researched for owl authenticity, this enchanting story will become a favorite. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

July 7, 2003
Lasky's (The Man Who Made Time Travel) Guardians of Ga'Hoole series opens with this unevenly paced tale centering on Soren, an owlet whose nasty older brother pushes him out of the family nest. A large owl snatches Soren up and carries him to a deep, dark canyon, the location of the St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. Its nefarious nature is apparent from the start: Soren and other new arrivals are given numbers to replace their names, they are forbidden to ask questions and are required to sleep with their beaks "tipped to the moon" and to walk, herd-like, during the night when a full moon is shining. This "sleep march" leaves the young owls "moon blinked," after which, in the words of Soren's friend Gylfie, "You no longer know what is for sure and what is not. What is truth and what are lies." Soren and Gylfie discover a means of resisting the sleep marches and vow to escape the canyon by learning to fly, a feat they accomplish with the help of a sympathetic elder owl. Though much of the narrative is encumbered by excessive detail about the rituals of the repressive regime, the story moves at a quick clip once Soren and Gylfie find freedom and embark on a quest with two other orphaned owls. The likable characters may well entice fantasy fans to accompany them as they fly on to The Journey,
due in September. Ages 8-12.
