Commentary 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.

Weigh Up Appertaining To Books Silverwing (Silverwing #1)

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.

Charming animal fantasy for children, readable for adults.

Pretty good book



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.

I loved it, it was a inspiring story of a small bat who's bravery is anything but small and determination of a fierce character. The story is wonderfully written and beautiful.

"Silverwing" is a colony of small dark bats, migrating south, ahead of runt Shade. Swept out to sea by a storm, he meets older Marina, banished by Brightwings who thought her band was a poison curse. She asks to join Shade's colony, led by a banded elder. They believe bands are a sign of divine promise that bats will regain the day, against present owl law. Every stranger has beliefs that challenge and rock Shade's, reminding us to question everyone. I don't like children who misbehave and
