Changes

|The series stars a world where owls dominate the world after humanity goes extinct and form their own kingdoms; a band of owls called the Guardians of Ga'Hoole is formed, knightly owls who rise each night to perform noble deeds, protect the innocent, and vanquish evil. The first several books tell of the story of Soren, a young barn owl shoved out of the nest by his older brother Kludd, as he and an elf owl named Gylfie escape their captors and join new friends in finding the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. His nephew Coryn (born to the traitorous Kludd and Nyra) gets his story in the last few books, where he goes from child soldier to kindly king of Ga'Hoole.

These books positively portray a battle of good versus evil (showing who is clearly good and who is clearly evil), as well as portraying family in a positive light. Betraying family is seen in a negative light, an example being where Kludd shoves Soren out of the nest to pass a Pure Ones test, brainwashes his baby sister, and very likely kills his parents. Racism is definitely portrayed as bad, as the Pure Ones are supremacists who want all other species of owls to be servants to barn owls; they even show hypocrisy by treating other Tytos (like sooty owls) lower than barn owls. Faith and science are both important in the series, where owl authors have written in books how the gizzard is important to owls both physically and mentally.

Betraying family is seen in a negative light, an example being where Kludd shoves Soren out of the nest to pass a Pure Ones test, brainwashes his baby sister, and very likely kills his parents. Racism is rightfully portrayed as negative, as the Pure Ones are supremacists who want all other species of owls to be servants to barn owls; they even show hypocrisy by treating other Tytos in their ranks (like sooty owls) lower than barn owls. Faith and science are both important in the series, where owl authors have written in books how the gizzard is important to owls both physically and mentally; the more scientific spotted owl Otulissa even learns to respect others' way of thinking even if she doesn't agree.

The books have also gotten a field guide, a collection of stories, and a prequel called ''The Rise of a Legend'' (which tells the long story of a soldier-turned-teacher owl named Ezylryb who had served in the owl army). Spinoffs were also included like ''Wolves of the Beyond'', ''Horses of the Dawn'', and ''Bears of the Ice''. An animated movie called ''Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole'' was released in theatres in 2010.

|Warriors is a book series (with seven six-book arcs, eleven stand-alone books, manga series, field guides, and novellas) about four Clans of feral cats living together and fighting for survival. The series starts out pretty neutral, one example being first arc main character Rusty/Firestar questioning why the Clans don't just become one big Clan before ultimately respecting Clan traditions. The earlier books also say that even if the Clans are staying separate, they can still come together to fight whatever threatens all the Clans, including Scourge and his BloodClan cats as well as the Dark Forest (the cat version of hell). Family is portrayed positively in Firestar agreeing to adopt his sister's firstborn kitten Cloudtail so that he can be a warrior like him.

However, it's become more liberal in later books, encouraging more open borders (as RiverClan leader Mistystar is seen as senile for closing her Clan's borders and looking after her own cats first) and moral relativism. It also portrays StarClan (the cat version of heaven) as manipulative fools when they previously stated that they only watched over the Clans and guide them every now and then. Anarchy is seen as good in the form of Needletail, who refuses to take responsibility for helping the sixth arc's villain, Darktail, take control of ShadowClan due to resentment towards their leader Rowanstar. Finally, the more conservative cats are portrayed as paranoid, archaic, and narrow-minded while the more liberal cats are portrayed as heroic.

However, it's become more liberal in later books, encouraging more open borders (as RiverClan leader Mistystar's decision to close her Clan's borders and look after her own cats first is portrayed as negative) and moral relativism (an example being the author portraying the murderous manipulator Mapleshade as sympathetic by making everyone around her even worse). It also portrays StarClan (the cat version of heaven) as manipulative fools when they previously stated that they only watched over the Clans and guide them every now and then. There seems to be a pro-anarchy message in the form of Needletail, who refuses to take responsibility for helping the sixth arc's villain, Darktail, take control of ShadowClan due to resentment towards their leader Rowanstar. ''The Raging Storm'' portrays a not-so-subtle jab at Donald Trump's 2016 slogan "Make America Great Again" by painting Tigerheart's line "Make ShadowClan great again" in a negative light. Finally, the series promotes a slight environmentalist message in glorifying the wild cats' harsh way of life while having the Clan cats look down on house cats and their safer and saner lifestyle.
