The Striga, former dragon owl from the Middle Kingdom beyond the Unnamed Sea, has come to stay at the great tree. He has earned the trust of all by saving Bell, Soren's owlet, from Nyra, and he grows daily closer to the young king Coryn, with whom he seems to share a strange bond. The Striga senses the power of the ember hidden in Bubo's forge and draws it closer. As his power waxes, he accuses the Band of treason and produces flimsy evidence to support his abominable claim. And so the Band is exiled, strengthening the Striga's hold over Coryn. The Band seeks refuge in distant forests and enlists the help of old friends, but every action they take is construed as further treason, and agents of the Striga - former Guardians - hunt them mercilessly, until for safety sake the band itself must separate. They devise as system of messages and alarms and so communicate despite their isolation. Old friends, loyal family and allies help devise a plan to shake the hold the Striga has on Coryn and to free the young king and the tree from this new, insidious tyranny. It will take courage, daring and wisdom, but the Band will meet the new challenge - for the sake of the king, and the Great Ga'Hoole Tree.

Exile

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The lead up to the last book in the series, it portrays the constant fight between good and evil. Evil that is not evident, but that somehow sneaks into our lives, little by little, lie by lie and often from many different sources. It would be a great book to read with your children as you discuss the many different aspects of choices that lead to consequences, good or bad.

I love the whole series, I liked the first few books most, but this one is still a super fun read. Lots of adventure and all. I read them originally when I was 11 or so... I decided to reread them now that I'm 17 and I still love them! Slightly more violent than your typical kids book about animals, but you'd have to be pretty darn sensitive to be turned off by it. Very good! I definitely reccomend it! :)

A Kid's Review
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The mysterious Striga whom I formerly loved becomes a psycho maniac. It's evident that he is a hagsfiend (he seems to have the fyngrot gaze, as I call it) and in the end, has the same tyrannical plans as Nyra and Kludd.
His purge for vanity is most disturbing as by flattery, lie by lie, book by book, fire by fire, he gains control of the King and burns owls!
Read it! You have to! It's a fantastic book! ;)
