Industry Reviews

A fascinating, gripping adventure story * Teen Titles * FIREWING: 'The third book in a riveting saga about bats ... capable of enthralling both 9-11s, as well as an older audience.' * Achuka website * A JONATHAN LIVINGSTONE SEAGULL of the bat community . . . this epic journey is gripping, and details of bat life are inventively and convincingly imagined. * Publisher's Weekly * Oppel's achievement is to have created much more than an action adventure involving bats.
