Overview / 简介: |
The latest soaring installment of Kathryn Lasky's NYT bestselling Ga'Hoole series
Grank raises the hatchling deep in a forest far from owls that would kill the royal chick named Hoole to end the kingly line. His mother comes to visit, in disguise, and departs again. Not even the chick must know his mother's identity. It would give him away as Hrath's heir. Sent by an evil warlord, a hagsfiend attempts to lure young Hoole away when he first learns to fly. Grank realizes that the same evil forces that killed Hrath are after Hoole, and know where he is. To keep him safe, Grank brings him to Beyond the Beyond, a strange land of fiery volcanoes in a barren, icy landscape.(more) |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| In this tenth installment of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series, Soren and Coryn, this time joined by the rest of the Band, open the second of the three Legends of Ga'Hoole and read on. The ancient volume, titled The Coming of Hoole, picks up where The First Collier left off: the hatching of that noble prince, Hoole.
Little Hoole starts out his life like any owlet: innocent, naive, and occasionally loud-mouthed. However, he knows nothing about his true identity, the heir of good King H'rath. Grank and Theo, his caretakers, know that the truth cannot be revealed to the young prince until it is safe to do so. For Hoole's protection, they continue to live in exile on an island in the Bitter Sea, far from owls that would kill the prince and end the kingly line.
Meanwhile, the hagsfiend Ygryk and her haggish mate, the Great Horned Owl Pleek, crave Hoole more than ever to be their own chick since they can't have one themselves. So when Ygryk finds Hoole and tries to lure him away, Grank and Theo (along with their new friend Phineas) take him to Beyond the Beyond.
Ultimately, Hoole will have to face off in battle against the hagsfiends and the traitorous Lord Arrin, and realize his destiny. Only then can he retrieve the Ember from the Sacred Volcanoes - and reclaim his father's throne. |
