Owls go to Far Away Land For Help

Kathryn Lasky's The Burning is truly a book for the masses. In it Soren, a barn owl takes his friends and his sister on an epic adventure to the Northern Kingdoms to find help for a war. In this book humans are extinct and all that remains of them are castles and man made things like Watches. But as soon as they get there they split up on separate missions. Soren and his friend get separated. I liked this book because my favorite animal is an owl. This book is one I recommend to all who like adventure.

BEST BOOK EVER!!

Im a enormos fan of the series and i was the first to buy the book where i live. This is #6 in the series and its an all out amazing book.In this one the Chaw of Chaws is on an epic mission to The Great Northern Waters in order to prepar for a comeing battle and they must not lose track for it is a whole diffrent life in the north and it wont be easy.The Burning is thrilling you wont be able to peel your eyes from it or put it down.If you dont like it ill eat my hat.Honestly youll love it!

Another Great Ga'Hoole

This wasn't the best book in the series, I think, but it was a terrific ending. (At least I think it's the end) It was well written, and a great book. I won't say too much, so I don't spoil it. I think if you've finished Ga-Hoole, turn your attention to the Warriors series, by Erin Hunter. Those are longer, and most Lasky fans will enjoy them.

and here comes the burning of the hoots

Here it is at last: The Burning. it all started when Soren and the chaw of chaws (and with Eglantine) are sent to the Northern Kingdoms to unite it's warriors in order to destroy The Pure ones. but when Soren and Gylfie are seperated from the first time and recive no assurances from owls of the Northern kingdoms he realizes he must either kill his brother Kludd or be killed by this monster. can he accomplish it? this is definately the best of the best.
