Silverwing

by Kenneth Oppel

HarperCollins Publishers Ltd | September 1, 1998 | Mass Market Paperbound

A 1997 Notable Book - Smithsonian magazine

A 1997 Best Book for Young Adults - The Globe and Mail

An ABA "Pick of the Lists" for 1997

Shade, the runty young Silverwing bat whose quest for the truth catapults him into waters both dangerous and exciting, has captivated the imaginations of children and adults alike. An instant popular favourite and critic's choice in both Canada and the U.S., Silverwing is an extraordinary journey filled with heart-stopping adventure and unforgettable characters.

Shortlisted for the Ruth Schwartz Award, the Ontario Library Association's Silver Birch Award and the Blue Heron Award and named an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, Silverwing is a richly layered fantasy for middle readers - and older ones too.

"A tour-de-force fantasy ... A can't-put-it-down adventure for readers around age eight all the way to adult." - Smithsonian magazine (A 1997 Notable Book)

"Replete with appealing characters, scary adversaries, bat lore, natural history, unanswered questions, and conflicting theologies, the story takes on a promising epic sweep..." - Kirkus Reviews

A fascinating blend of history, mythology, and biology, Silverwing is also a gripping adventure story. Shade is a spunky, determined character that kids will identify with, despite his wings.

Award-winning Canadian fiction, this series is a great choice for book reports!
