The brave owls of Ga'Hoole are back in their second mythic
adventure as they strive to preserve owldom from the evil that
lurks around them. Join the owls in their quest for the Great
Ga'Hoole Tree, the legendary place where ordinary owls are
transformed into the heroes that guard the owl kingdom. Out of the
darkness a hero will rise! It began as a dream. A quest for the
Great Ga'Hoole Tree, a mythic place where each night an order of
owls rises to perform noble deeds. There Soren, Gylfie, Twilight
and Digger hope to find inspiration to fight the evil that dwells
in the owl kingdom. The journey is long and arduous for Soren,
Gylife, Twilight and Digger. When they finally arrive, they realize
that the journey has barely started and that greater challenges lay
ahead. If they succeed in following in the footsteps of their
leaders, they will soon become true Ga'Hoolian owls-- honest,
brave, true and wise.
Kathryn Lasky has long had a fascination with owls. This led
her to research their life and behaviour, thinking that she would
write a non-fiction book about owls to be illustrated with her
husband's photographs. She soon realised, though, that this would
be rather difficult since owls are shy and nocturnal creatures --
so she wrote a fantasy series about them instead.
