This is a great book to read. Soren and Gylfie are captured and sent to st. Aggies. Some owls there are pretty cruel. After they get there they get a new name. For instance, Soren's is: 12-1. I've read part of it though.

When Soren is pushed from his family's nest by his older brother, he is rescued by representatives from a mysterious school for orphaned owls, St. Aggie's. When Soren arrives at St. Aggie's, he suspects there is more to the school than meets the eye. He and his new friend, a clever female elf owl named Gylfie, find out that St. Aggie's is actually a training camp where the school's leader is grooming young owls to help achieve her goal, which threatens the lives of owls everywhere. First Soren and Gylfie must escape. Then they embark on a long and perilous journey to find a way to save all owls from the danger that lurks at St. Aggie's.

I love your taste of books! All of y'all give me a high-five 4 Guardians of Ga'hoole and Wolves of The Beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
I absolutely love this series of books. I was instantly hooked on them after the first few chapters. If anyone out there has watched the movie and has not read any of the books - even if you did not like the movie - I highly recommend these books ages 10 and up. I will admit they are violent but, if you read them you must enjoy them that way. They're all about heroism, adventure, and fighting but, still in a more kid-like way. They are very enjoyable. You will, laugh, learn, frown, and love. The only reason I say frown is because of getting attached or reading something sad or disappointing. But, that's what makes this book so good. They really are terrific. :)
My gosh, this series is amazing! I highly recommend it! I would also have to say it's different than the movie
it is so cool i love it
