This second book in the Guardians of Ga'Hoole was just as good as the first. Continuing directly from the first, it is the story of our band of owls' journey from the Desert of Kuneer through the Beeks and on to the great Ga'Hoole tree on the island of Hoole. Once they arrive at the great tree, it is even more than the expected. All the legends or myths they had heard as young owls are true. The four friends live together in the same hollow but they are tapped(selected) to train for different specializations. This second installment moves at an even faster pace than the first volume. The story races along as the band of owls adapt to life in the tree and as they train and aspire to become Guardians. I know there are 15 books in the main story and two spin-off books now. But if they are all as good as the first two, I have a lot of great reading ahead of me.
