Sometimes you've just got to reread the formative children's books of your childhood. This one stands up. A masterclass in worldbuilding, for real. Within pages I was immersed in bat culture again, from mosquito hunting, owl sentinels, and winter migrations, to cannibal vampire bats, bat gods and mysterious bands! Not even mentioning the rat princes, Remus and Romulus. What a book, man!! I might just have to reread the rest of the series now.
