This book was one of my favourites when I was a child. I used to read it over and over again because it was just so incredible. It tells the tale of a group of bats, two of which become separated from their colony. Yet it's also about a lot more; it's about human intervention in the natural world, and how we have come to harm animals and their habitats. It's a beautiful story and is probably at least partly accountable for the fact that, today, I am a strong believer in animal rights.
