The Capture
by Kathryn Lasky
I personally greatly enjoyed this book ( and all the others in this series). The book starts off with the main character, Soren, falling through the sky. As he falls, something slows down his fall as he relives the memory of his life so far. He is an owlet when the book begins, so the memories don't last very long. He wakes up on the forest floor, and is kidnapped and taken to an “academy”. On the way there he meets an owlet named Gylfie, who tried to fly before she was ready. The two become fast friends. They discover a dark secret about the academy, as well as one about Soren's brother, Kludd. They make many friends, including a Boreal owl named Grimble, a small Spotted owl named Hortense, a young Great Gray named Twilight, and a Burrowing owl named Digger. I personally liked this book a lot because it has a strong message about friendship, and what it can get you though in the hardest of times. At the end of the book, Soren realizes that his brother pushed him from the nest, and his family is missing, which means he is almost an orphan at this point. Gylfie still supports him and helps him, and flies with him to find his family, and the Great Ga’hoole Tree.
The way Kathryn Lasky writes the story is incredible. She writes the inter series from an animal's perspective, bringing to light many problems about the world. Her use of vocabulary words and slang, to me, builds up a child's reading comprehension in a way, by making them infer. Using an animals perspective allows children to understand and be able to comprehend what is happening opposed to using a human instead.
