Captured

I finished reading The Capture by Kathryn Lasky. The Capture is the first book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series. This book follows Soren, who is shoved out of his nest and snatched up by a patrol of owls from St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. He meets several owls at St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls and they plot ways to stay themselves and escape the evils of St. Aggies. Soren meets Gylfie, an Elf Owl, and they become great friends that help each other survive the perils of St. Aggies.

This book is really interesting and has fantastic use of language. I love Twilight and his witty use of words, rhyming, and poetry. He may be an "uneducated" owl, but he's got spunk and wit. Gylfie is incredibly intelligent - her and Soren make a great pair for figuring out riddles. This is a great book for kids and even adults.
