Free A Guide Book To The Great Tree (Guardians Of Ga'hoole) Ebooks Online
Finally, for all free folk of air, land, and water seeking knowledge of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree; its ways, its days, its heroes known and unknown... a Guide!Studious by nature, fortunate to have been present at the most glorious moments in the tree's recent history, and above all honored to count as friends its most ardent champions, I, Otulissa, have decided to write a compendium, a catchall -a guide, in short- to the history, life, and spirit of the tree. Pause a moment before the next adventure begins to read of its natural history, its origin, and yearly changes. Read of its lesser-known heroes: of Joss, brave messenger of legends; of the brothers Ifghar and Ezylryb and the treachery that bound them; of Theo, the peaceful warrior.

I picked this book up from my local bookstore, expecting more of a reference book than a story book, and it far surpassed my expectations. While still full of interesting facts such as how the chaws are organized and what they teach, it also has short stories about many of the characters readers of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole will have become familiar with through the series.I had hoped to start a Guardians of Ga'Hoole roleplaying game, and this will be perfect in helping me introduce my gaming friends to the Hoolian world.If you like companion books, this is the book for you. As short as it is for an older reader, it is a book I could read again and again.
Reading is very slow on this book comparied to the series. What is it best for is learning all about the different owls of the tree, celebrations and other artifacts that make the series tie together. It is more like reading a dictionary of who's who. It is interesting but very technical for the young reader.
This well written book is a nice fit with the series and provides backround information that makes the seriesmore understandable and enjoyable even for us elder "owls". :)
My 9 year old grandson is in love with this series of books. It has turned him from a beginning reader into a devoted reader. I had bought him all but 3 of the the books in an amazing close-out at a bookstore, filled in the missing 3 with purchases from (thank you ), but initially he did not want the Guide Book. Later I bought it for him spontaneously, and once he had the book, he was enthralled. He talks about it often. Loves all the information which compiles in one place a lot of the background information of the books from what I gather.All I can say is, it was a tremendously successful purchase for a boy well and truly in love with these books.
My daughter has started reading this book before the series, and she is excited to finish it and start the first book! She really enjoys reading this book, and I am sure she will enjoy the books of the series!
I haven't had time to do more than skim this book but I look forward to deepening my knowledge of the Great Tree and its community and history. I'll be interested to see what Huang adds to Lasky's conceptualizations.
I purchased the rest of the series plus the extras of these books. My 9 year old granddaughter and I are both reading them together and discussing what we have read. She bought the first 3 of this series at a school book fair, because I like owls. We are having a wonderful time with these books they have adventure and compasion. This series is not just for children, I can't wait to get to the next book when I am finished one. The names of the owls are a little hard to pronounce, so just make it up if your having a hard time.I received these books in perfect condition within just a few days from . I will continue to order through they are a wonderful company.
this book is really nifty it has a reference of the characters in the book and mini stories too and a glossary of "hoolian" and "karkish" words (hoolian and karkish is the language the owls speak in the story in case you didn't know) i hope this review helped
