Publisher Description
The second book in this enchanting series continues this classic hero mythology about the battle between good and evil and chronicles Soren’s quest for nobility.
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 harrowing. When Soren and his friends finally arrive at the Great Ga’Hoole Tree, they will be tested in ways they never dreamed of and face challenges they never imagined. If they can learn from their leaders and from one another, they will soon become true Ga’Hoolian owls: honest and brave, wise and true.

"In the second installment of 'Guardians of Ga'hoole' comes an epic journey of epic proportions to find the Guardians and tell them of the academy for orphaned owls and the evilness that rules there. It was exciting and fast-paced, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I even learned more facts about owls - so I get to read an exciting book and advance in my research about birds. Talk about a win-win situation!"

Quotes
-
“The world building is excellent, with a few intriguing hints that it might take place on a post-Holocaust Earth, and the characterization is solid. The owls are unique and complex, with conflicting feelings and just the right mix of seriousness and fun."
— VOYA, praise for the series -
“Film fans will flock to libraries in search of Lasky’s Guardians of Ga’Hoole series, whether they have read the books previously or are discovering them for the first time.”
— School Library Journal, praise for the series -
“Lasky's fully realized world is full of traditions based on the actual habits of owls, but this is still a world in which owls can read and write. Fantasy readers will enjoy the adventure.”
— School Library Journal, praise for the series

" If the first book in the Owl series was dark, the second is all light (well, mostly). The little band of owl orphans makes it to the Great Tree and begin their training to become noble Guardians. There's some imagery of soaring through a rainbow and the aurora borealis that is just lovely. "

— Jarod, 5/9/2011 -
" I hate this book because of who the badguy ends up being. I read the first three books in a few days just so I could have them read before I saw the movie. But I shouldn't have wasted my time. If the movie was going to be good then it wasn't because I read these books. Muah. "
— Michael, 4/12/2011 -
" Saw the movie. Decided to see how the books compared. I enjoined both. I liked the action better in the movie but I liked the character development and story better in the book. I recommend both. "
— Jon, 4/5/2011 -
" Only made it through book 1. Cute, but a bit too juvenile for me. "
— Crystal, 4/2/2011 -
" An enjoyable book to read. My only question is why owls? It's a bit violent and bloody for young children. There's also a bit of language. I can never understand why authors put language in books meant for children. "
— Lori, 1/31/2011 -
" This book was somewhat enjoyable. It seemed dark and depressing to me but the story and the writing were good. "
— Sue, 1/18/2011 -
" Kids like it, I like it. Simple works. "
