| Soren Alba is a young barn owl living on an island in the middle of the Sea of Hoolemere. There, on that fairly small piece of land, an enormous tree sits. This is the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, home of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole. THe Guardians of Ga'Hoole are a band of noble owls who rise into the darkness each night to perform noble deeds, right all wrongs, vanquish the proud, & make strong the weak. Their greatest enemy, the Pure Ones, are led by Kludd, Soren's older brother. When the Guardians finally decide to lay a surprise attack on the Pure One's canyonlands, they send Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, Digger, Otulissa, Martin, & Ruby. They are charged with 3 different missions: Obtain allies with the warriors of the Northern Kingdoms, learn all they can from the magnificant library of the Glauxian Brother's Retreat, & find Hoke of Hock, a Keilan snake that could help them. | ||
