Publisher's summary

It began as a dream, a quest for the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, a mythic place where each night an order of owls rises to perform noble deeds. There Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger hope to find inspiration to fight the evil that dwells in the owl kingdom.

The journey is long and harrowing. When Soren and his friends finally arrive at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree, they will be tested in ways they never dreamed and face challenges they never imagined. If they can learn from their leaders and from one another, they will soon become true Ga'Hoolian owls, honest and brave, wise and true.

Great story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Journey to be better than the print version?

I have no time for printed books, but use audio books to pass time while commuting. I truely enjoyed the story line and will probably get all the books for my grandson.

What other book might you compare The Journey to and why?

The journey is a wonderfully done good guys and bad guys book.

Melancholy

I love how this book captures melancholy so poignantly! It is a beautiful story of loss and finding family when you don’t know what is left. I love this book series and I cannot wait to read through these again and again

8-year-old twins finished this book in 1 day!!!

Review from mom:
Immediately after finishing Book #1, my kids begged for Book #2! I was sick, so they had a boring day at home… but this book kept them engaged for hours and hours and hours! They finished the book in one day! Again, the second it was over they brought me the phone and begged for Book #3. We are starting it as soon as this review is posted.

I’m so glad the books are included in Audible Plus!!! I love that they are learning (the author sneaks in a surprising amount of factual information about owls) and not using screen time.

Review from twins (spoilers included):
“We learned a lot… and we liked the book! We liked how Soren caught a coal when the coal went super high in the air and Soren was circling and he caught it. That was cool. We liked how they did tricks during the weather chore. And we loved how at the end they found Eglantine!!”
