Book Reviews of The Outcast (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 8)

Book Review: not a book report
Summary: 5 Stars

For the life of me I don't understand how people get review and synopsis confused. I am not going to retell the story. The author did a good enough job originally. I am simply going to write a review.

My grandaughter suggested this series to me and, like all granparents, I have to do what a granchild asks me to. I have not been disappointed in the least. I waited until I was halfway into the eighth book "The Outcast" until attempting a review because I wanted to get the "feel" of the entire series.

The only problem that I have with this series is that the author tells you what happened in the past way too often. I know that some authors feel that they must tell you what has gone on before but this author gives the same information several times in the same book. Maybe she feels that the series was written for children and must give this information over and over because they are so young. I have a higher appreciation for young minds and feel that it is unnecessary and slightly irritating. Oh well, this is minor and if it is the only problem that I have with the series then it must be pretty good.

It is! Otherwise, I have nothing but praise for these books. They are inventive and very entertaining. When I find that I have been reading for too long and must stop I am disappointed. The books are well written and hold my attention to the point that I forget the outside world. (That is what a good book is supposed to do isn't it?)

When violence becomes necessary in the story the author does not go into great detail but gets it over with quickly. I think that is great for children. They are exposed to it but not slapped in the face with it.

I am not a great lover of poetry but the short "ditties" in the story are cute. I have come to really like Twilight's fighting songs and think they are hilarious.

I recommend this series of books very highly. The are great for kids and if one of them happens to fall open in front of an adult - they will like them too. (Warning - you may get hooked!)

Summary of The Outcast (Guardians of Ga'hoole, Book 8)

To prove his goodness, young Nyroc will renounce his name, his mother, and his inheritance to seek the holiest of relics from The Beyond the Beyond.



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 -- the near-mythic Soren -- who might be a true father to him. Yet he cannot approach the tree while the rumor of evil clings to him. To prove his worth, Nyroc will fly to The Beyond the Beyond seeking the legendary Relic and bring it, a talisman of his own
