Spiritwolf

Wolves of the Beyond: Spirit Wolf by Kathryn Lasky
No one ever saw Faolan as a leader. Banished as a pup, he survived and returned as a gnaw wolf—the lowest member of the wolf pack. But Faolan wasn’t meant to be a gnaw wolf. It’s not just his strange, splayed paw, or his uncanny connection with the bears. There’s something about Faolan that inspires certain wolves...and leaves others deeply suspicious. Now, with a dangerous threat on the horizon, the pack must make a choice. Will they trust the silver outsider with the task of leading the battle? If Faolan can’t fulfill his destiny, it could be the end of the wolves of the Beyond.
Read the first chapter.

Wolves of the Beyond, a New Ga'Hoole Series

Wolvesofthebeyond_130 A newborn wolf pup with a twisted leg is abandoned in the wilderness beyond Ga'Hoole. Miraculously, he survives and grows up to change the Wolves of Beyond forever. If you loved the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series by Kathryn Lasky, then this Sneak Peek of her newest series is for you.

Lone Wolf, Book 1 of the brand new Wolves of the Beyond series is not coming out until December 29, but you, dear Ink Splot 26 readers, can be the first to read Chapter 1 right here (PDF).

In other news, the Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie is coming out in September 2010, which feels like an awfully long time, so it's a good thing we have this new series to read while we're waiting!

Guardians of Ga'hoole: Finally a Movie!

Hey all you Guardians of Ga'hoole fans. You're reading that headline right. The Guardians of Ga'hoole series by Kathryn Lasky is being made into a movie!

It's going to be an animated film, made by the same people who did Happy Feet. The movie will encompass the story in the first three books. And just announced over the weekend: now we know who'll be doing some of the voices!

According to IMDB, actor Ryan Kwanten will be the voice of Soren. Hugh Jackman (whom I love as Wolverine in the X-Men movies!) and Hugo Weaving will also be joining Ryan Kwanten to voice characters in the movie. But I can't find who they're voicing! Hugo Weaving's played a lot of older, ruler-type characters like Elrond in the Lord of the Rings movies and Noah the Elder in Happy Feet. So maybe he'll fill a similar role and voice Ezylryb in this movie. Then again, maybe not.

In this case, your guess is as good as mine. So I want to hear your guesses! Which characters do you think Hugh Jackman and Hugo Weaving will be voicing?
