Silverwing Book

I began reading this novel because my grandson in the fourth grade was reading it. He was enthusiastic about this book and I wanted to show interest in his school work. The areas of study are endless! (character studies, friendship, compare the various bat characters with people you might know...leads conversation into bullying, deceitful people, friends vs enemies, creative writing and nature studies etc.) This is a beautifully written novel which gives descriptions and facts in an interesting manner. The best result of reading this book, is my grandson has asked for the next two books in the series! Thanks Kenneth Oppel for creating a wonderful series of books.
