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

5.0 out of 5 stars a fun way to learn January 5, 2007

By Linda S. Rainey

Format:Paperback

My kids have enjoyed reading these books and have learned a great deal about owls and consequently about birds in general from them. The author seems to have done a great deal of research and works in much detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son can't stop reading these! January 6, 2008

By Trish

Format:Paperback

I can't thank the author enough for writing these adventure books that appeal to boys. I was struggling to find books that my 4th grade son would enjoy. The reading selections he was offered at school took away his joy of reading. Thanks to this series, his joy has returned. He has learned many interesting facts about owls along the way. In fact, he's crazy about those birds now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously Great Books - Definitely Buy the Boxed Set March 2, 2010

By L. Gildart TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

My nine-year-old has been plowing through these books at an alarming rate. His third grade teacher gave him a copy of book one to read over the holiday break, and, today, just over two months later, I ordered book 12. I would be into getting them from the library, the way he's going through them, but he keeps going back to the ones he's already read.

I suspect young girls will like these books quite a bit. There are wonderfully strong female characters, both good and not-so-good. My son also like some of the grossness inherent in the lovely rich details of how owls go about their business, which is far less messy than how seagulls do their business.

Soren is a wonderful protagonist, truly good, but not dreary. Your child will love these books and want them all. So save some money where you can. Buy the boxed set.
