Publisher's summary

Ever since Soren was kidnapped and taken to the St. Aegolius School for Orphaned Owls, he has longed to see his sister, Eglantine, again. Now Eglantine is back is Soren's life, but she's been through an ordeal too terrible for words. Deep within Soren's gizzard, something more powerful than knowledge tells him there's a connection between these mysterious events.

In order to rescue Ezylryb, Soren must embark upon a perilous quest. It will bring him face-to-face with a force more dangerous than anything the rulers of St. Aggie's could have devised - and a truth that threatens to destroy the owl kingdom.

Critic reviews

"The owls are unique and complex, with conflicting feelings and just the right mix of seriousness and fun." (VOYA)

Another winner

Review from mom: another winner! The kids finished this in two days. Downloading the next book now.


Review from the twins… SPOILERS below:

We really liked it. My favorite part was the battle with Metal Beak! It was interesting how Soren’s brother was Metal Beak.

Argh

I love listening to these books on my way to work. One book per week is standard by now, it's amazing how perfect the length of them is.

Continues to be great.

The band gets bigger, and the owls come to depend on one another. Soren looks for Ezilrib after he goes missing, and finds who the real enemy is, and it comes as a surprise to Soren. Another great story, I look forward to listening to the rest. Narrator is good.

Good but lots of repeating

At first it was alright but it started to get on my nerves afterwards. When the author kept on repeating what plumels were and Twilight's orphan school and etc. Other than that I'm enjoying the story so far. I had only seen the movie before and boy did they change the story in that one.
