Ilustration During Books Silverwing (Silverwing #1)

Shade is a young Silverwing bat, the runt of his colony. But he's determined to prove himself on the long, dangerous winter migration to Hibernaculum, millions of wingbeats to the south. During a fierce storm, he loses the others and soon faces the most incredible journey of his young life. Desperately searching for a way to rejoin his flock, Shade meets a remarkable cast of characters: Marina, a Brightwing bat with a strange metal band on her leg; Zephyr, a mystical albino bat with a strange gift; and Goth, a gigantic carnivorous vampire bat. But which ones are friends and which ones are enemies? In this epic story of adventure and suspense, Shade is going to need all the help he can find -- if he hopes to ever see his family again.

One of Canada's best books for young readers was written by a pretty young writer himself. Kenneth Oppel, who had his first book published when he was 18, really hit his stride a dozen years later with Silverwing, the first volume in a thrilling adventure trilogy set in the nocturnal world of bats that immediately captured the attention of middle readers and award juries alike.

Notice About Books Silverwing (Silverwing #1)

I'm wavering between 2 stars and 3 stars for this book. I think if I had read this as a child, I would have rated it higher. A perpetually-curious outcast who has to overcome the odds, try to figure out some mysteries, avoid bad guys, make new friends, and manage to make his first winter migration without the rest of his colony. Oppel creates a unique world with the bats' perspective and varying mythologies/beliefs about how to solve the problems of their world. My one problem with the book was

Silverwing is just amazing! I read it in just a day, and that's no small feat for me! It was just so capturing! It was quite fast-paced I found, but I liked that for a change!It was just un-put-down-able! The story-line is very original, which I loved, and is about bats! This is my very first bat fiction story that I've read, and it had made me have a taste for bat stories!This is a flawless and exciting story {{I found myself cheering and wishing Goth and Throbb would just hurry up and die!}}

Not going to lie: I read these books as a kid at the library and absolutely adored them. In fact: Ive remembered the story fondly for years but completely forgot the title and author, so I was never able to retrace this book. Until I randomly stumbled upon it at the second hand bookstore. And all the memories came flooding back in...Reread planned soon

A really fine and fun book. I'm an adult but when I saw this at a bookstore and that it was about bats I just had to pick it up. I loved it so much I immediately went out and got the sequel, which is also very good. I know there is another sequel to, which I've got on my list to buy.As a kid I always loved stories that gave life and character to animals, and this is a fitting successor to the great works of Jim Kjelgaard and other such writers who did it for me.

Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel is a really good book in my opinion. It is the first in a four book series. Shade is a newborn, he his smaller then the rest. Him and another named Bathsheba gets separated from their pack on there way to Hibernaculum, but goth, a vampire bat,is trying to hunt him down.I think that anyone could get into this book because of his daring and exciting adventures. There are moments where they are in trouble. It is a good book that i recommend.

I read this book a long time ago and a few of the concepts in it stuck with me... I liked the idea of the echo-chamber that houses all the knowledge of the bats, just like we have books (or now the internet). It's a one-star because the characters are bland, the theme is boring, and the 'message' is too weak even for a children's book.
