After being pushed out of his nest by his brother Kludd, Barn Owlet Soren is taken to St. Aggie's. St. Aggie's is a school for orphaned owls but something isn't right about it. The orphans aren't allowed to ask questions and if they do, they are punished. Soren meets Gylfie, an Elf Owl and together they plan to escape. The problem? They don't know how to fly. An owl named Grimble teaches them how to fly and they manage to escape. The books ends when Soren and Gylfie start their journey to the Great Ga'Hoole tree, but they don't know if the legendary tree actually exists.
This is a wonderful series. Fans of Warriors by Erin Hunter will definitely love it.

But this book my dear fellas, is worth to be read in a day.

O.W.L.s Readathon 2020
I was actually kind of excited finding out all these years later after watching the film, that it was actually based on a book series, and even though middle grade isn't my favorite genre, there have been a few exceptions (i.e. the first few Harry Potter books). Sadly I did not enjoy this. There's so many interesting ideas, I just love the fact that this is told from the perspective of owls, but I couldn't help but be utterly bored through most of this. It felt like next to nothing really happened over the span of 200 pages. But I don't think this is a bad book, it's just not for me.
