This is the first book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. It's all about OWLS! Soren is a barn owl who is kidnapped from his nest in the first few weeks of his life. He's taken to a strange place, a colony of owls hidden deep in a canyon. The owls hardly seem like owls. They have been cut off from everything that owls love, like the moon, the sky, and the hope of flying free. They eat strange foods and do strange things. Soren and his new friend Gylfie know that something evil is going on and that they have to escape. But first they'll have to do something they've never done before--fly. Can they learn without parents to help them? Will they be able to escape? Or will they fail in their first flight and be put so deep in the canyon that they'll never be free?
This book is a little like Watership Down with owls. But not nearly so enthralling. I'll probably pick up the next one, but I didn't love it so much that I'd commit to the whole series.
