The Capture is about an owl named Soren. Soren has a brother named Kludd and a sister named Eglantine. Soren gets pushed out of the nest one day, but he does not know who pushed him out. Soren asks if Mrs.Plithiver a blind nest snake if she could ask Kludd if he could help, but Kludd refuses and goes back to the nest. Soren waits for his mom and dad, but insted of his mom and dad showing up he gets captured by an owl named Grimble. Grimble brings Soren to a place called St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. At St. Aegolius they have to sleep at night which is wierd for Soren because owls usually sleep in the day. Soon he finds out that they are trying to moon blink him. He meets an Elf owl named Gylfie and they try to make a plan to escape the miserable St. Aegolius Academy. Will they escape? What does moon blinking mean? There is much more that will happen to Soren, but you will have to read this book to find out. The Capture is an adventures book I hope you read it. Boys or girls will like it, BUT there is fighting in it. I hope you read it!

Sorry to correct you, but Grimble carried Gylfie to St. Aggies. We don’t know the name of the owl that carried Soren by the end of the first book. I hope you will read the rest of the series, I know I will.
I read this book, too! I really enjoyed it and I think it is also an adventure. I think Carly did a really good job reviewing. One thing that was left out was when Gylfie met Soren. They both were in the air being held in two owls’ talons. That was when they were being taken to St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. Carly said that Gylfie was an Elf owl, however Soren is a Barn Owl. Something very important is this question. Why would Gylfie and Soren want to leave St. Aggy’s (nickname for St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls)? Well, they want to leave because they figured out that St. Aggy’s is trying to conquer the entire owl world. Soren and Gylfie came from two different places, the forest kingdom of Tyto (Soren), and the desert of Kuneer (Gylfie). St. Aggy’s sent owls to go after baby owls or owl eggs during the day because owls sleep during that time. So, the baby egg or owl will not have any protection because their owl parents would be sleeping. This is the first book of the Guardians of Ga’hoole series. I have the same opinion as Carly. This book is for both boys and girls. It’s fast-paced and hard to put down. I think it is a fast read. I hope you read this book!!!
