Narrative To Books The Shattering (Guardians of Ga'Hoole #5)
Soren's sister, Eglantine, is falling under the spell of a strange nightly dream. Then, just as Soren notices her trancelike state, Eglantine disappears, and the dreams become a deadly waking nightmare that puts the Great Tree of Ga'Hoole in terrible danger. Soren must lead the Chaw of Chaws to rescue his sister. Thus begins the next battle between the owls of Ga'Hoole and the evil Pure Ones, deep in the treacherous territory known as The Beaks, where a raging forest fire will prove the greatest danger to the rescuers-and their best hope for victory.

If you loved Harry Potter or Percy Jackson, you'll love the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series by Kathryn Lasky. The owls who populate theis series are all different kinds of owls with unique personalities but they work together as the Guardians. No people in these books but there are plenty of "lessons" to be learned from how the owls interact and how they deal with the situations in which they find themselves. Fascinating books and a lot in the series (15) so lots of good reading!4.4 stars.This entry in the Ga'hoole series felt like a breath of fresh air. This is definitely the best one I've read in a while. Why? I'm glad you asked....For one, I was glad to get out of Soren's head and follow other characters I've always wondered and enjoyed reading about, namely Eglantine and Primrose. It's not like I dislike Soren, but the change in perspective lead to some wonderful character building, such as Primrose's insecurities and Eglantine's newfound determination and drive (no
Eglantine gets to star in this book but, unfortunately, is a complete liability the entire time. She's too young to do a lot of the things older owls like Soren get to do, conveniently ignoring the fact that she's THREE WEEKS YOUNGER! Pretty sure she and Soren are both more than two years old at this point. Unfortunately that's such a big part of the story this time that it ruins most of the good bits.
The reason one of the stars are missing is because it was a bit slow at the beginning. Eglantine wasn't herself. Primrose felt ditched when Ginger became friends with the owl. But the REAL rating I'd give is a 4.5. It was full of action and strategy. The dreams and the 'mother'. It was all a big mysterious puzzle piece which made you want to keep reading. I finished the book within a few hours, not non-stop, but if I had the chance I would read it non-stop. The ending is filled with pure
This is the fifth book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, which I'm reading aloud to my younger daughter.When Ginger (a Barn Owl raised by the Pure Ones and part of the attack on the Great Ga'Hoole Tree during The Siege, who was taken in by the Guardians because she was injured) becomes Eglantine's newest roommate, she begins to change. She sleeps more, and Ginger is always whispering into her ear about how she's always being left out. Ginger is trying to isolate Eglantine from the others, and
The Shattering is the cleverly crafted fifth book of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. The title refers to the mind of owls who are subjected to the mind-controlling flecks used as weapons by the pure ones. It is a story that brings to the forefront advanced warfare that is waged not on the body, but within the minds of unsuspecting young victims. The numerous references to shattering with terms such as slivers, shards, splitting, fragmented, piece by piece, and division weave a disturbing
The fifth book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, The Shattering, is probably the best I have read in this series so far. However, this series consists of about fifteen books and I have yet to read every single one. This book takes the concept of dreaming and expands it into something very interesting and awesome. Dreams become reality and happen continuously over time, this is an ability known as Starsight. There is something else that happens with dreaming, too. Something horrible. This is
