Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The story's fast pace, menacing bad guys, and flashes of humor make this a good choice for reluctant readers, while the underlying message about the power of legends provides a unifying element and gives strong appeal for fantasy fans." (School Library Journal)
"Broad themes related to the nature of personal choice, the need for fellowship based on love and trust, and sharing knowledge with one's peers are presented compellingly and with swift grafting to the animal adventure story." (Booklist)

Really Great, Narration was Moderate

I would suggest this book to many family's children. Good narration; luv it a lot.

grate book for a owl lover.

I've read it every year times but it gets better each time and every time.

outstanding

good read for me. for me into the book wish all the voices didn't mesh though

Second time listening

I didn't care for her rendition of Twilight's voice at first but it grows on you.

Nostalgia

I remember reading this book back in middle school and I’m glad to find out that it’s still pretty good. Not too crazy for the narrator but they get the job done. Overall I like it

Just as I Remembered

I read this book in 6th grade and really enjoyed reliving it through this audiobook. Great characters, world building, and a nail biting journey. Pamela Garelick takes the time to voice each character differently so you always know who is speaking. It wasn't exactly how I pictured them sounding, but that's okay.

The only cringey thing was her singing at parts, which broke my emersion. Hence the 4 stars.

I like it

It’s very good like wolves of the beyond which is another series of books by Kathryn Lasky but the singing is really odd and not really good but I think I seen the movie.

Loved it!!

Guardians of Gahool is the best! Book 1 was awesome, can’t wait to listen to the rest!

It grows on you.

a little slow at first but more interesting as the characters develop. I'll go on to listen to the next!

Good story, ok narrator.

The story is well worth the read either in audio or in binding. The only issue I take with the audio was that the voice given to Gylphy (?) was shrill and hard to listen to. I appreciate when a narrator has special voices for each character, but it was difficult to listen when Gylphy spoke.
