Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Part II

Hi!!! The second book, The Journey, is about Soren, Gylfie, Twilight, and Digger's journey to the great Ga'Hoole tree. When they land(I forgot where) the group finds Ms. Plithiver, who was Soren's nest maid snake. Nest maids are rosy-pink scaled blind snakes. They are known for their sensory skills, like their 6 sense. They think owls dignified because they warp instead of being a "wet pooper" like seagulls. They are the worst of the wet poopers, even though seagulls love wet poop jokes. Then the group continues into the Beaks. There are flecks stored inside of the landforms that look like beaks. The band forgets that they are supposed to be journeying on to Ga'Hoole until Ms. P. shouts at them because she feels a bad gut feeling in the Beaks. The band leaves, but is caught in a williwaw which is a quick, unexpected wind. This carries the owls up to the Northern Kingdoms, the Ice Narrows, and the band meets a puffin family who give them directions to the Ga'Hoole tree. As they fly through a blizzard, Soren realizes that as he flies beneath the others to hear any signs of the tree (barn owls are known for their hearing abilities), that the others might have bee drawn towards the Beaks. He worries because he is the leader of the band. The owls get close to the tree when the king or queen, Boren or Barren, leads them to the tree. Once there, the owls must be selected into chaws. Chaws are groups of owls that learn a certain thing. There are these chaws:
Navigation with the ryb (teacher) Strix Struma: Gylfie
Tracking and navigation: Twilight and Digger
Colliering (fire carrying) and weather interpretation with Ezylryb: Soren, Outlissa (a snotty stuck-up, know-it-all spotted owl who adores all of the Strixs and any owl from an acient lineage), Martin (a Northern Saw-whet owl rescued from a forest fire in Silverveil), and Ruby (a short eared owl named for her ruby-colored feathers, who is the best flier and great at catching airborne embers.)

I'll post soon!!!!!!!!!
