The Outcast
Guardians of Ga’Hoole Series Book 8
by Kathryn Lasky
Nyroc has exiled himself from the Pure Ones, but he cannot approach the great tree while the rumor of evil still clings to him. To prove his worth, Nyroc will fly to Beyond the Beyond to seek the legendary Relic.
Nyroc has exiled himself from the Pure Ones. He flies alone, feared and despised by those who know him as Kludd’s son, hunted by those whose despotism he has rejected, and haunted by ghostly creatures conjured by Nyra to lure him back to the Pure Ones. He yearns for a place he only half believes in—the great tree—and an uncle who might be a true father to him—the near-mythic Soren. Yet he cannot approach the tree while the rumor of evil still clings to him. To prove his worth, Nyroc will fly to Beyond the Beyond to seek the legendary Relic as a talisman of his own.
I was first attracted to these books because I work with owls, and despite some minor scientific errors (i.e. the owls would start eating each other if enclosed together, as in the books), found the books to be imaginative and intriguing.…I would recommend this book for anyone of any age who is interested in animals, particularly owls, and who enjoys fiction for the younger reader.
