A little tiny bat embarks on a great big quest in this first book of what promises to be a well written trilogy. Oppel presents just enough mystery to make you want to continue the series and along the way he tackles issues of identity,…

I read this book as a child. I am now in my 30s rereading it to my own child. It’s the first novel she’s really gotten into. She can’t wait for us to read a few chapters every night.

"Silverwing" is one of my all-time favorites. I have reread it over and over again. I just loved how many great details this story has, and they made the story feel so real. Definitely would and will recommend this book to all my friends,…

One of my absolute favourite books growing up (my first email handle was even "firewing_rox", in reference to the third book in the series, lol). One of the aspects I loved the most about it was how the author takes into account what bat…

I read this book as a novel study in Grade 5, and absolutely loved it! I then read all of the books in the series except the prequel (I got bored). Kenneth Opel is a really good author, he writes with emotion and he really feels for his…

This is a fantastic book for mature young folks, with a yearning for adventure. It can be intense in parts, but a parent can guide the reader through it. Many great discussions in our house that came from this series. It's on my top 20…

An interesting concept, but this book just wasn't for me. I found it slow-moving and unengaging, but I can see how young fans of the Warriors series or Guardians of Ga'Hoole might really like it.

Interesting book about bats; I like animal fantasies, when the author writes from an animal's point of view and not a human's. The book's main bat species Silverwings- Silver-Tipped Hair Bats are really cute in real life. As well as…
