Guardians of Ga'Hoole . . . . A book about owls that I thought was going to be pretty stupid but as soon as I began reading . . . man, was I blown away. Not only did I find this book to be truly fun and investing but it's just so beautifully done. What do I mean by that? Well, let's take a look....
Interesting plot line. Gypsies, not Jews are featured in this WWII era novel. I liked the way that the author used the making of the film to explain how some of the gypsy extras were involved. I always like a bit more hope at the end. It felt like it stopped too quickly...but I guess that is typical...
Leni Riefenstahl is sort of an enigma when it comes to World War 2 history. There is a lot of misinformation out there and very few facts. She was a Nazi sympathizer, there is no doubt about that. But what this author has done, I actually found offensive. She played fast and loose with a person's li...
It took me a while to finish this book because I took a break, but I am liking this series more than I thought I would. It seems to be aimed at a younger generation than me, but it still merits a solid 3 stars. I really enjoyed that there is a subtle political story line to the main quest/good v evi...

I saw this as a film a while ago and really enjoyed it, the book is slightly different and while there are so...

They have to learn how to become a member of the community of the Great Ga'Hoole tree and how to be the best...
Darci Murlowe is a thirteen-year-old girl living in 3038. She is a Genhant, a genetically enhanced human who has been implanted with a 48th chromosome. Most people are now Genhants, and their DNA composition is carefully chosen before they are born. There are also few people whose ancestors could no...
Picked this one up because it looked good (Newberry bait -- did I just make up that term?), and because Kathryn Lasky also wrote the Owls of Ga'Hoole series....and, it was pretty darn good. Great children's fiction, dealing very frankly and bluntly with the realities of plantation slave life, and li...
