The Hatchling is about the son of Nyra and Kludd. He's not very good at being evil so he flies away with his friend Phillip. It's much better than the last few books except they weren't very good. But still they were good enough to keep me reading so i guess i have to give Lasky some credit.
 Great praise from my son... September 19, 2005

My son was doubtful when I bought the first of this series for him. But now, he has re-read them so many times that they have been well worth the money! He's currently in 4th grade, but started reading them last school year.

Soren and the Great Ga'Hoole tree won the Battle of the Burning. The evil, vicious Kludd is dead. Nyra, Kludd's equally evil mate, has given birth to a son -- Nyroc. He sees everything in light of his mother: Soren killed Kludd, the Pure Ones are supreme, the Great Ga'Hoole Tree is the enemy etc. But everything changes when Kludd's body and bones are burned. No, Kludd try to kill Soren. So Nyroc and Phillip, Nyroc's friend, search for answers to the acts of the evil couple. Nyra wants Nyroc to be the heir to the Pure Ones, so she sends her henchmen to retreive her son. What will happen next?? Read the book to find out!!
An excellent analogy of the life of a German during the Holocaust August 18, 2005

I have always applauded Kathryn Lasky for her analogy to the Nazis with the pure ones and thus like Dr.Seuss making a serious subject like prejudice seem wrong and stupid to younger readers. And now in The Hatchling she brilliantly shows young impressionable fans the difficulty of fighting what you know is wrong but all the adults around you support it. But the tale itself is not of our hero Soren but his new nephew Nyroc who's being brought up into a skilled warrior whom hates The Ga'Hoole tree by his mother. He passes all his rituals with flying colors but when he reaches the last and most sacred of the Pure Ones rituals the trouble begins. Will he take Kludd's place as High Tyto or will he choose a different path. Featuring such favorites as the bumbling and somewhat comical lieutenants Stryker and Uglamore this is a beautifully written tale. I must say I feared there would not be anymore Gaurdians of Ga'Hoole books after THE BURNING and am quite pleased their are.
 The Hatchling is cool!! August 6, 2005
The Hatchling was a perfect sequel to the burning. I'm glad they finaly talked about the Pure Ones a little more. I felt a little sorry for Nyroc. Because he was hated by everybody just because of his parents.
