The first in this series and the foundation for the new movie. Soren, a barn owl, is snatched from his tree and flown to an orphanage when many other owlets of every variety are brought. There, the young birds a moon-blinked into following orders and being brainwashed. Soren and his new friend Glyphie fight these rituals that are used to train the owls for an evil plot and plan to escape and warn the others.
Soren and Glyphie cannot reveal they are not moon-blicked, and there are few who can be trusted. Bad things happen to those who break the rules. Bad things. The end of book one sets up several avenues for future volumes: What is Soren's brother up to? Where is Glyphie's family? What is the legend of Ga'Hoole? Where is the Great Ga'Hoole Tree and will it be a haven? Will the leaders of St. Aggie's Ophanage find them? What are the flecks all about?
Movie trailers are available on line.
