SILVER WING

This book is about a colony of bats called the silverwings, who is readying for a migration to Hibernaculum. Shade the main character of this book is runt of the bat colony. He wants to prove himself on the migration south by doing many dangerous things, such as starring at the sun (The bats are forbidden to stare at the sun), stay out until the morning (Owls are allowed to hunt the bats if they stayed outside in the morning). In the migration shade was strayed from his mother in a storm. He tries to rejoin with his colony and in his adventure he met up with three other bats Marina a brightwing, Zephyr an albino who can see into the future and Goth a giant juingle bat. He was reunited with his colony and his mother at the end with Marina the brightwing bat. I think that this is a great book with a very epic adventure in it and I can't wait to read the other kenneth oppel books.
