Silverwing by Kenneth Oppel is the harrowing yet fascinating tale of a young bat in search of freedom from the night and ultimately, truth. This book is very reminiscent of the Redwall series for me. The evil is very evil; and I do not recommend this book for young children. It is acceptable for older elementary children or Jr. High. A significant amount of true bat information is woven throughout the fictional book. Many references to false Gods are woven throughout the story.

About the Reader
Read by John McDounough; whose character voices are excellent and exciting. Very well read and captivating. I found this audio book at my library, and it does not seem to be available on cd from any other source.
I have been searching for a copy of silverwing (Kenneth Oppel) on audio. My daughter has a reading disability and I usually download a copy of the classes novel study from audible.com but I cannot find this novel. I am reading the story to her our goal is to encourage independence ,
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
