Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
This companion guide to the Guardians of Ga'hoole epic untangles the complicated plots and character interactions of this popular extended series. Kathryn Huang presents a clear history of the great tree, its guardians, and its enemies. In addition to its lucid, engaging text, A Guide Book to the Great Tree contains maps, drawings, and even recipes. A handy handbook to an incomparable series.
Children's Literature
One of two planned companion books to the bestselling "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" series, A Guide Book to the Great Tree tells the history of the Guardian owls' home from the point of view of Otulissa, the tree's resident historian. Chapters include the story of the tree itself—from its magical germination to various blights that have threatened it—the education undertaken to become one of the legendary Guardians, untold back stories of some of the tree's most revered and notorious inhabitants, a calendar and explanation of celebrations/holidays, a description of the owls' daily schedule from sundown to sunup, and a "Hoo's Hoo" and comprehensive glossary of owl words. Readers should note that this is strictly a companion piece to the series: little to no surrounding history is given of characters, wars, settlements, and so forth, and entries are written with a descriptive thoroughness that is more encyclopedic than literary. For fans of the "Guardians of Ga'Hoole," though, Huang's book sheds new light on heroes and villains, while also providing enough detail to let young minds fantasize about undergoing chaw training (owl school) and becoming a Ga'Hoole historian themselves.

    Enjoyable

    This is a really good book! It tells you some stories about the owls, the history of the Tree, how to become a guardian, and much more. It is told by Otulissa. My favorite story is the one about Ifghar and Lyze Of Kiel. It costs a bit more than the main series, but it is worth the extra two dollars.

    Guardians of Ga'Hoole: A Guide Book to the Great Tree

    This book is about life in the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. It is written by Otulissa, one of the owlets in the series who grows up to become a scholar, warrior, teacher and Guardian of Ga'Hoole. Being an historian, she knows about the important people, events, celebrations, chaws (classes) that are part of Ga'Hoolian History. She is living during a new era in the history of Ga'Hoole, when there have been many changes. Boran, Barran, Strix Struma, Ezylryb and Coryn have died. The new generation of Guardians has inherited the Great Tree. This is their history, their present life and their future, according to Otulissa. After you read the series, this is a great book to read.

    Great read

    The Guide Book to the Great Tree is finally here, and it was more than worth the wait! Everything is included from information about yearly celebrations at the Great Ga'Hoole Tree to interesting stories of characters readers will recognize from the series but otherwise know relatively little about, such as Strix Struma and Ifghar. There's even a handy, though rather brief, owl dictionary in the back. And of course, no Guide Book to the Great Tree would be complete without a fold-out, full-color map of the Great Ga'Hoole Tree itself, which is also included. I highly recommend this book to all fans of the series, though it would be wise to first read the series itself, for spoiler reasons. All in all, a great read.
