The Burning (Guardians of Ga'Hoole Series #6)

by Kathryn Lasky Narrated by Pamela Garelick

Overview

Soren and his band are sent to the mysterious Northern Kingdoms to gather allies and learn the art of war in preparation for the coming cataclysmic battle against the sinister Pure Ones. Meanwhile, in the Southern Kingdoms, St. Aggie's has fallen to the Pure Ones, and they are using its resources to plan a final invasion of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. With the future of all Owldom in the balance, the parliament of Ga'Hoole must decide whether or not to join forces with the brutal Skench and Spoorn and the scattered remnants of St. Aggie's who remain faithful to them. The coming conflagration will demand wisdom, bravery, and sacrifice from all the owls of the great tree and, from Soren and the band, nothing less than heroism.

Editorial Reviews

APRIL 2009 - AudioFile

An invasion against the great Ga'Hoole tree by the Pure One appears to be inevitable, and the owls of Ga'Hoole understand they must prepare. Soren and his band head off to the north in search of allies and knowledge of how to wage war. Pamela Garelick has created a rich collection of voices and gives a spirited narration. Some voices may be a bit shrill to adult ears but likely less so to children. Prior experience with this series would give this title context and add helpful background about the characters and the owl kingdom generally. At the end of the book is a glossary, which is not as helpful in audio as it would be in print. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
