Why read it?
1 author picked The Capture as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I first read this book when I was 10 years old, and from then on I was utterly devoted to the genre of fantasy series.
With its mixture of childlike wonder and rather advanced concepts, this first book in the extensive Guardians of Ga’Hoole series succeeds in making the reader think while remaining an entertaining piece of literature. And the choice of owls as the main characters proves a worthwhile gamble on the part of the author that makes the series informative as well as unique.
From J.S.'s list on YA fantasy series to start with.
