KATHRYN LASKY has had a long fascination with owls. Several years.ago, she began doing extensive research about these birds and their behaviors what they eat, how they fly, how they build or find their nests. She thought that she would someday write a nonfiction book about owls illustrated with photographs by her husband, Christopher Knight. She realized, though, that this would indeed be difficult since owls are nocturnal creatures, shy and hard to find. So she decided to write a fantasy about a world of owls. But even though it is an imaginary world in which owls can speak, think, and dream, she wanted to include as much of their natural history as she could.
Kathryn Lasky has written many books, both fiction and nonfiction, including Susaring Time, for which she won a Newbery Honor. Among her fiction books are The Nisht]ourney, a winner of the National Jewish Book Award; and Beyond the Burnin8 Time, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. She has also received The Boston Globe / Horn Book Award as well as The Washington PostChildren's.
内容简介
Product Description
Coryn and the Band have returned to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree and restored order. With the Ember safely hidden away, the tree shakes off its gaudy golden glow and recovers its natural majesty. Meanwhile, deep in the Palace of Mists, Bess finds an ancient map fragment that reveals that there are not 5 owl kingdoms -- as has been thought since time immemorial -- but 6. Coryn and the chaw of chaws set off to find this unknown land. In a landscape of perpetual winter, they discover a monastery of serene, learned owls, the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
