Guardians of Ga'Hoole

Soren must lead Chaw of Chaws to rescue his sister, Eglantine. Thus begins the next battle between the owls of Ga'Hoole and the evil Pure Ones, deep in the treacherous territiroy known as the Beaks, where a raging forest fire will prove the greatest danger to the rescuers - and their best hope for victory.

Enraged by his clash with Soren and driven by and all-consuming desire for power, Kludd and his group, the Pure Ones, launch an attack upon the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. The noble owls who live there must fight fiercely to protect their resources and defend their honor.

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.... In order to rescue him, Soren must embark upon a perilous quest.
