Silverwing

In Silverwing, Kenneth Oppel has created a quasi-fantasy world about bats, which sounds crazy, but it absolutely works. It tells the story of Shade, a young and runty Silverwing bat, who gets blown out to sea on his first winter migration south. Suddenly without any of his colony and only a song-map to guide him, Shade acquires a new friend and more than a few enemies as he tries to follow his mother’s directions and rejoin his family before winter overtakes him.
