Book excerpt: The Guardians had always been the protectors of Earth, but an unthinkable betrayal has led to their downfall—forcing them to reincarnate as humans and endure lifetimes of pain and suffering. Without any recollection of where they came from and with their powers unknowingly locked in their subconscious minds, the former Guardians can only live the life they know, fighting to survive. But the pain they must endure is so unbearable that most of them lose their minds. Even the leader of the Guardians, the Almighty Dragon, has fallen victim to the Heiling clan’s evil plot. With the burden of the prophecy on his shoulders, Master Li, his eight-year-old son, and his loyal disciples set out into the Western world to find the Guardians in an attempt to restore peace and harmony to mankind. The dangers they face are beyond anything they envisioned. The Heiling clan seems to always be one step ahead of them, and their vast numbers make it seemingly impossible for Master Li and his followers to fulfill their mission. Filled with adventure, mystery, and cultural diversity, the search of the Guardians brings to Master Li and his followers, experiences that are unforgettable.

Eking out a living as a teacher’s aide in a small New Mexican border town, Tía Regina is also raising her teenage nephew, Gabo, a hardworking boy who has entered the country illegally and aspires to the priesthood. When Gabo’s father, Rafa, disappears while crossing over from Mexico, Regina fears the worst. After several days of waiting and with an ominous phone call from a woman who may be connected to a smuggling ring, Regina and Gabo resolve to find Rafa. Help arrives in the form of Miguel, an amorous, recently divorced history teacher; Miguel’s gregarious abuelo Milton; a couple of Gabo’s gangbanger classmates; and a priest of wayward faith. Though their journey is rife with challenges and danger, it will serve as a remarkable testament to family bonds, cultural pride, and the human experience Praise for The Guardians NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE “An always skilled storyteller, [Castillo] grounds her writing in . . . humor, love, suspense and heartache–that draw the reader in.” –Chicago Sunday Sun-Times “A rollicking read, with jokes and suspense and joy rides and hearts breaking . . . This smart, passionate novel deserves a wide audience.” –Los Angeles Times “What drives the novel is its chorus of characters, all, in their own way, witnesses and guardian angels. In the end, Castillo’s unmistakable voice–earthy, impassioned, weaving a ‘hybrid vocabulary for a hybrid people’–is the book’s greatest revelation.” –Time Out New York “A wonderful novel . . . Castillo’s most important accomplishment in The Guardians is to give a unique literary voice to questions about what makes up a ‘family.’ ” –El Paso Times “A moving book that is both intimate and epic in its narrative.” –Oscar Hijuelos, author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love

An invasion is coming, one the Kielian League won't have the strength to resist. Soon the tyrant owl Bylyric will rule over everything, and no honorable owl will be safe. Only the small owl from Stormfast stands between Bylyric and total victory. Lyze is not very impressive to look at, but he has a wild idea for a snake and owl strike unit that just might give the soldiers of the Kielian League the edge they need.This is his story, the story of an ordinary owl who rose to become Ezylryb of the Great Tree. This is the story of what it takes to make a Guardian of Ga'Hoole.
