A review by clairemon
Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel
3.0
So I'm reading some children's fiction just now as I'm thinking of writing some myself, and this series stuck out to me (I'm an animal lover).
I thought it would be hard to make a book about bats interesting for a reader, but it certainly was! I found myself drawn into the world of Shade and his colony of silverwing bats, and rooted for him throughout the adventure. I can see the appeal just now, so can imagine I'd have enjoyed it even more as a child.
It's refreshing to stand back from classics for a while and visit some missed series from my childhood. I'd recommend this to young readers (or old kids!).
