Kathryn Lasky (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

Sometimes the enemy comes from within...

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.

More About the Author

Hi Readers! Thanks for coming by my author page. I've written all sorts of books - from fantasy about animals to books about science. One of my favorite animal fantasy series, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, is a major motion picture. I liked writing about Ga'Hoole so much that I decided to revisit that world in a new series, Wolves of the Beyond. Visit my website, www.kathrynlasky.com to see a slide show about the real wolves I researched for the series and for the latest update on the Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie. All my best, Kathryn

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Exile (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 14) (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! ;)

This review is from: Exile (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 14) (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: Guardians of Ga'Hoole #14: Exile (Kindle Edition)

The 14th book is full of suspense! One night I was reading, and I said to myself, "Ok, one more chapter, then it's time for bed." I think I ended up reading 5- 7 more chapters than I thought. Kathryn Lasky really keeps you flipping the pages without thought. Even though I'm only a 12 year old girl in the 6th grade, I recommend this book to all ages!
