After Soren, a young owlet, is pushed from his family's nest by his older brother, he's plucked from the forest floor by agents from a mysterious school, the St. Aegolius Academy for Orphaned Owls. With the help of a new friend, the clever Gylfie, he discovers that St. Aggie's is actually a training camp where the school's headmaster grooms young owls to help achieve her goal--to rule the entire owl kingdom. In this series, the reader follows the adventures of Soren and Gylfie as they subvert the nefarious schemes at St. Aggie's, learn to fly, and eventually escape into a world where evil lurks and refuge may only be found in a place of legend--the Great Ga'Hoole Tree.
