A stunning adaptation of a tale that’s been winning hearts for twenty-five years.
Shade is a young Silverwing bat, the runt of his colony. But he’s determined to prove himself on the long, dangerous winter migration to Hibernaculum, millions of wingbeats to the south. When he becomes separated from the other bats during a fierce storm, he must undertake the most incredible journey of his young life.

"From the Silverwing Trilogy series , Vol. 1
BY KENNETH OPPEL ; ILLUSTRATED BY CHRISTOPHER STEININGER
A brilliantly evocative reboot.
A young bat separated from his migratory flock in a storm weathers deadly dangers in this graphic version of the original 1997 novel.
Steininger’s art transforms a tale that was already rich in soaring heights and breathless hazards into an even more vivid and vertiginous odyssey, with quick transitions accelerating the pace to warp speed between rare moments of rest. Forced to flee from vengeful owls after breaking an ancient rule by staying up to watch the sunrise, young Shade has only a sonic map of his flock’s customary migratory path to guide him to safe winter quarters. Along with depicting diverse bird and bat species with exactitude and subtle, expressive touches of anthropomorphism and viewing them from fluid aerial angles as they swoop, flutter, and dodge, the artist ingeniously captures a sense of how bats use sound to perceive their surroundings, and even to create illusory shapes and signals. He’s also a dab hand at portraying both the story’s mystical, otherworldly moments and the savagely naturalistic ones that tend to follow as Shade encounters shuddersome menaces on his long journey-most notably a horde of sewer rats with a raving king and two demonically hideous tropical bats with cannibalistic tastes. The episode ends with Shade, accompanied by loyal brightwing friend Marina and other volunteers, setting out in search of his vanished father. A graphic adaptation of the sequel, Sunwing, can’t come too soon.
A brilliantly evocative reboot. (Graphic animal adventure. 9-13)
