I'm not sure if it's okay to post it here since there is no section on "Books." The book Silverwing is about a bat who was seperated from his migration group. Now he has to find his group and meets other bats. Marina, a female bat with bands on her wings Zephry, an ancient albino bat and Goth, a vampire bat The question is, which one is friend and which one is foe? Anyone had read it? I have and it's a great book! I'm a bat lover. I'm weird.

I never heard of it- but I wanna read it ;D I'm a bat lover too- Batty Koda from Fern Gully and Bartok from Anastasia are the best! ^___^ Too bad they don't have bats with names in Disney =P they should ... Anyway, I'll check it out

I read it! All three of them! (Firewing's ending was so angstfull! ;_; ) I saw a few episodes of the TV show, but it wasn't nearly as good as the books.

Never heard of it. Isn't it animation or something like March Of the Penguins?

I hated the book. PASSIONATELY. but I can see why some liked it. Why did you hate it? What bugged you? I thought that the series (especially the second one) wove real war facts in with biology stuff with good charactarization to create a great read. But maybe that's because I find little aspects of history like the "Bat Bomb" project absolutely fascinating

Maybe it's the though of animals and warfare?

Most books discussed here, uh...even though it's just this one so far I think, all do ^_^

I haven't heard of this book either, but it sounds very interesting! I highly reccomend the whole series - the second one, Sunwing, is the best. ^_^

Oh...so that's how you knew... What do you mean? I own and have read the books several times. It only just occured to me that since Firewing was published several years ago, there could be another sequel out by now, so I checked (and there isn't).
