Chronicle During Books The Rescue (Guardians of Ga'Hoole #3)
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 in Soren's life, but she's been through an ordeal too terrible for words. And Ezylryb, Soren's mentor, has disappeared. 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.Mention Books As The Rescue (Guardians of Ga'Hoole #3)

Such a twist! I remember reading this book when I was around twelve and being blown away by the author's stunning descriptions and colloquialisms of owl life. Even a young reader can appreciate the amount of research that was done for these lovely middle grade books.Wow! I LOVE this series:) I completely forgot how this series goes, so that's why I'm rereading it, haha!
An entertaining series up to this point, for sure, but the latter half (approximately) of this installment really ups the ante in excitement and intrigue. I thought maybe 4*, since the first part of the book didn't neccesarilly show its promise, but I've been reading so many awful, awful books lately that I'm just too excited for actually having found one I thought was good!On a more critical sidenote, I'm not a fan of how the reader is reminded several times every book about flecks, chaws
Listened to this on CD and I was having a hard time keeping my attention on it...right up until a surprise near the end. I am uncertain whether I will continue the series.
With every book I read, I become a bigger fan of Kathryn Lasky and/or Ga'Hoole. Even though the movie is so different, it was my first introduction to Ga'Hoole and the Legends of the Great Tree and the Guardians who reside there. The books had been on my to-read list for a long time, but because they were older, had constantly been pushed down the reading list. But now I am completely hooked and look forward to each new adventure as I finish the previous book.In this third installment we return
The Guardians of Ga'Hoole series really takes off with book 3. There's action, adventure and character development all rolled into one. And can I just say, it's got Snowy Owls! I heart snowy owls. Now onto my major problem and why this warrents a three star rating and not a four or five. Repetition. Lasky tends to over describe things to the point that I thought I was going crazy because I swear I just read a description that was worded exactly the same way four pages ago. While I understand
