Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel
4.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this book for all of its adventure and perspective challenging views!
Shade is part of the Silverwing colony and desires to be bigger than his runt-like self. From searching for the sun, coming away from night and into day, to being swept away from home into a whirlwind of adventure. This little bat has a story to share of discovery, betrayal, friendship and secrecy.
I truly enjoyed the perspectives of this story and how Oppel challenged only 2 perspectives by having a third thrown into the mix when it came to revelations about the banding. And it's interesting to learn the differences between animals of similar nature and of the same kin. How they see and behave. How they act and feed and live. Honestly it was just a thoroughly enjoyable book. Marina, Shade and Goth are remarkably different and all have a different perspective to offer to the story. Adults and children can truly enjoy this work!
