About the Author

Kathryn Lasky has long had a fascination with owls. This led her to research their life and behaviour, thinking that she would write a non-fiction book about owls to be illustrated with her husband's photographs. She soon realised, though, that this would be rather difficult since owls are shy and nocturnal creatures -- so she wrote a fantasy series about them instead. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

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 Another great book for Guardians of Ga'Hoole, January 5, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Shattering (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 5) (Paperback)

I really liked the book. Although it was about Eglantine, and less about everyone else in the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, it was a nice change. Soren is the main character and most readers forget many other owls in the tree have lives. Eglantine is quite mean to Primrose and realizes that something is terribly wrong with herself as she has a weird dream telling her to go to the Beaks and find her mum. Poor Primrose is replaced with a corny owl named Ginger. This book is different and well worth reading and we get some new perspectives. Oh, and they have the pictures of Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, Digger, Ruby, Ginger, Primrose and Barran in the back and front of the book! I love the pictures!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another GREAT Book in The Gaurdians of GaHoole, March 8, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Shattering (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 5) (Paperback)

I have loved every single Gaurdians of GaHoole book, and if your like me you should love this book also. I highly recomend this book to anybody reading this review. Any ways the book is about mainly Eglantine. She gets a new friend named Ginger who was formerly a Pure One. Throughout the book Eglantine has nightmares. These nightmares tell her that her parents are still alive and living in The Beaks. To find out what happens order this book and read.

P.S. I can't wait until the seventh book comes out!
