This is the third book in the Guardians of Ga'hoole. It continues the story of four young owls as they save their kidnapped teacher from the clutches of a Naziesque group of evil owls. Obviously, a nice everyone-is-equal moral is developing in this series.
Appropriate for 3rd or 4th graders.

This is the third owl book by Lasky, and it’s more of the same: interesting story, lousy narrative, annoying vocabulary lessons, stupid songs, and, of course, a shark is jumped.

But, really, the books from here on out will fail to capture my interest, only reading those that I already have, and stopping when I’m done.
If you’re like me, this will be the absolute last Ga’Hoole book you’ll ever need to read. But if you’re like me, you’ll also have two more Ga’Hoole books still on your shelf to read.

implausible, yet predictable. After reading The Rescue, I wondered “what’s the point of the rest of the series?” There are five more books set in this owl-y world, but really, there’s nothing much to do except rush to the last epic battle with massive fields of owls (and other creatures), probably rendered in film (if they do make a sequel to the Zach Snyder-directed film) by the software Weta used for Lord of the Rings, only a bit more feathery.But, really, the books from here on out will fail to capture my interest, only reading those that I already have, and stopping when I’m done.
