''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' is a children's fictional book series written by Kathryn Lasky and illustrated by Richard Cowdrey. Most of the main characters are owls, and the series is a cross between animal fiction such as ''Literature/WatershipDown'' and epic fantasy.

The main series (totaling fifteen main books - including the three-part "Legends" arc, giving the history of several important owls from the past - and two guidebooks, 2007's ''A Guide Book to the Great Tree'' and 2010's ''Lost Tales of Ga'Hoole'') was released from 2003 to 2010, and was followed by the six-book spinoff series ''Wolves of the Beyond'' (2011-2014; follows the Wolves of the Watch after the events of the final book, focusing on Faolan, a young dire wolf who grows up to become a gnaw wolf, a sort of story recorder, and eventually a watch wolf), the 2013 prequel ''The Rise Of A Legend'' (which tells of how [[RetiredBadass Ezylryb]]/Lyze of Kiel came to be the owl he was in ''The Journey''), the distant prequel series ''Horses of the Dawn'' (2014-2016; telling of the arrival of Spanish conquistadores in America through the point of view of the horses they brought with them, who manage to escape and become wild), and another sequel series, ''Bears Of The Ice'' (2018-ongoing; starring polar bears in the northern owl kingdoms).

The series has spawned a spinoff series entitled ''Wolves of the Beyond''. It centers on the Dire Wolves known as the Wolves of the Watch, specifically a young wolf who grows up to become a gnaw wolf, a sort of story recorder, and eventually a watch wolf. The owls appear occasionally in the books. Another spinoff series called ''Bears Of The Ice'' (starring polar bears in the northern owl kingdoms) will be published in 2018.

A {{Prequel}} was released in August 2013 called ''The Rise Of A Legend'', which is a tale how [[RetiredBadass Ezylryb]] (AKA Lyze of Kiel) came to be the owl he was in ''The Journey''.

* DanBrowned: Quite a bit of it, unfortunately, mostly having to do with [[YouFailBiologyForever owls' biology]]. Could be excused as extreme ArtisticLicense, but the books' information says that the series was the alternative to a nonfiction book the author wanted to write about owls, and thus she attempted to include owls' natural history. By and large, it appears she was unsuccessful... For more detail, see the [[Headscratchers/GuardiansOfGaHoole Headscratchers]] tab.

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: It's never established ''where'', in real-life terms, the series takes place. No single location could account for the variety of owl (and other bird) species seen in the series, most of which don't coexist in real life. TheMovie implies it's in Australia by showing a Tasmanian devil and an Echidna and giving the characters Aussie accents, but even that doesn't really fit.

** At one point, a group of owls try to save books from the Pure Ones by memorizing them, saying they got the idea from a book written by one of the Others, named "[[{{Fahrenheit 451}} Ray Brad]]" (although they think the name may have been cut off).

''Guardians of Ga'Hoole'' is a children's fictional book series written by Kathryn Lasky and illustrated by Richard Chowder. Most of the main characters are owls, and the series is a cross between animal fiction such as ''Literature/WatershipDown'' and epic fantasy.

* NoPronunciationGuide: You can normally just pronounce St. Aegolius as St. Aggie's. Let's face it, how many kids in the book's demographic are going to be able to pronounce it?
