About The Book
Why We Love It
“Kenneth Oppel’s high-flying adventure story about a brave little bat is brought to life with Christopher Edwin Steininger’s colorful, arresting art. This is an action-packed graphic novel that’s reminiscent of classic comics and feels like a breath of fresh air in today’s middle grade graphic novel space.”
—Dainese S., Associate Editor, on Silverwing
