To Be a King

Guardians of Ga'Hoole, Book 11

The 11th title in the New York Times best-selling Guardians of Ga’Hoole series brings Hoole to kingship and the legends to fulfillment, signaling a return to the adventures of Coryn, Soren, and the Band.

In this next adventure, Hoole reclaims the throne of his father and goes on to wage a war against the forces of chaos, greed, and oppression led by the powerful warlord-tyrants. Grank, the first collier, uses his skills with fire and metals to forge weapons for battle. With great trepidation, Hoole uses the power of the ember in the final, decisive battle and wins. At the dawn of a new era of peace, Hoole searches for the ideal place to establish not a kingdom but an order of free owls - and finds the Great Tree.

Critic reviews

“Friendship, loyalty, and the possibility of love abound in the last legend read to the new generation of Guardians.” ( Children’s Literature)

I love it so much it’s amazing 

Beautiful story very enchanting. I can really feel the story. It’s a really good story for 10 year olds but why did you make it cost credit that was a terrible idea

Excellent series

Such an amazing series of books. You won't regret spending your time with these owls. The reader does an incredible job with the voices and her energy is perfect for the story. Enjoy!

very intriguing

lov it hoping they'll be able to make it into a movie now 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️❤️. that be so cool. .the 1st movie was great so,🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻come on part #2

I love this series!!!!!!

This book describes choices, loss, and sacrifice; but also victory and success. It represents 2 noble kings on a quest for the truth as well as a dastardly clever villain and an antagonist who really isn't sure what she is yet.... Except for the creation of a monster.

Long

This is the longest book in the series. It’s a little bit boring compared to the others but is full of important information and backstory.
