Teaser Tuesday - The Guardian's of Ga'Hoole: The Journey

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

1. Grab your current read
2. Open to a random page
3. Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
4. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

5. Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

I'm currently reading the 2nd book of the Guardian's of Ga'Hoole, The Journey, by Kathryn Lasky.  For me, this series was suprisingly deep, for what I expected to be a rather light children's story. 

So here's my teaser from page 29 of this book:

They were, of course worried they might have lost the Hoole, but if they had their doubts, they dared not even think about them for a sliver of a second.  For doubts, each one feared in the deepest parts of their quivering gizzards, might be like an owl sickness - like grayscale or beak rot - contagious and able to spread from owl to owl.
