The Coming of Hoole, July 15 2006
A Kid's Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Guardians of Ga'Hoole #10: Coming of Hoole (Paperback)
In this tenth installment of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, Soren and Coryn, this time joined by the rest of the Band, open the second of the three Legends of Ga'Hoole and read on. The ancient volume, titled The Coming of Hoole, picks up where The First Collier left off: the hatching of that noble prince, Hoole.
Little Hoole starts out his life like any owlet: innocent, naive, and occasionally loud-mouthed. However, he knows nothing about his true identity, the heir of good King H'rath. Grank and Theo, his caretakers, know that the truth cannot be revealed to the young prince until it is safe to do so. For Hoole's protection, they continue to live in exile on an island in the Bitter Sea, far from owls that would kill the prince and end the kingly line.
Meanwhile, the hagsfiend Ygryk and her haggish mate, the Great Horned Owl Pleek, crave Hoole more than ever to be their own chick since they can't have one themselves. So when Ygryk finds Hoole and tries to lure him away, Grank and Theo (along with their new friend Phineas) take him to Beyond the Beyond.
Ultimately, Hoole will have to face off in battle against the hagsfiends and the traitorous Lord Arrin, and realize his destiny. Only then can he retrieve the Ember from the Sacred Volcanoes - and reclaim his father's throne.
If you're a series fan, you won't want to miss The Coming of Hoole!

Gahoole Series, Nov 5 2006

My youngest Daughter initially purchased Book 1 of this series from a book order form from school. Once she had read it, I happened to look at it and started reading the story as it seemed interesting. We both became "hooked" to the story. I came on line to AMAZON & found out it was a series with 3 more books already released. I immediately ordered the the books. Once they arrived we both read them individually within a week. We did discuss the stories.
For the remainder of the books, I have preordered them so that we would have them as soon as released. Intriguing reading for 10-14 year olds. An interesting presentation of "Good vs Evil".

I Think this book is my most favorite book in the series. I cried when the book ended. I always cry at the end of a book that is from Lasky but I cried more than any other Lasky books with this book. I love this book.
