Episode 155 - The Capture by Kathryn Lasky

It’s a Harnois Sibling Spectacular - we’re covering The Capture by Kathryn Lasky with none other than our brother, Patrick! Book 1 of the Guardians of Ga’Hoole series is a brutal look at fascist owl overlords and the revolutionaries quietly defying them. Young Soren and Gylfie experience perils, found family and the terrors of moon blinking after being ripped away from their parents. We delight in The Owliness of It All and the ways this book permits young readers to question the authorities in their lives while celebrating their coming of age. In the words of Twilight: "I am big -- right you are! But I am delicate and beautiful. I can float! I can skim.” If that’s not enough to convince you to listen, I don’t know what will!Please visit https://www.dragonbabiespodcast.com/ for a character gallery aka a whole lotta owl pics.MUSIC - Pippin the Hunchback and Thatched Villagers by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) - Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
