We've gotten our first entry in our Kenneth Oppel contest- and a particularly well written one at that!

Hannah E. Shirtliff writes:

How many people thought a book about bats would be boring, before they read Silverwing? I thought so. But it’s really the opposite. What I love most about Kenneth Oppel’s Silverwing trilogy is that it takes bats (as well as other night-time creatures), and gives them names, personalities, enemies, and history. A story that appears to be about a small bat named Shade soon becomes the story of a fight for survival-and the future of the world. Every book brings something new into the series, as readers (and Shade) find out more about the way things are in the world of bats. You even find yourself wondering if some things in the story might be true. And one thing’s for sure: You’ll never look at bats in the same way again.

Great entry, Hannah. We couldn't agree more.
