cracking stories, brimming with adventure, redolent of great mythical sagas of the past, alive with invention, thoughtful - at times profound and probing - and never faltering when it comes to thrills and page-turning power. * Carousel *
The third book in a riveting saga about bats ... capable of enthralling both 9-11s, as well as an older audience. * Achuka website *
As in Brian Jacques's popular Redwall series, the intertwining storylines, evil villain and intense action will keep young readers enthralled, but Shade is a more complex character than most Redwallian heroes. Shade's dangerous adventures make a memorable impact. * The Horn Book magazine - on SILVERWING and SUNWING *
Oppel's achievement is to have created much more than an action adventure involving bats . . . He explores their collective dreams and aspirations, as well as their individual characters. SILVERWING successfully creates a new fantasy world, and a convincing simulation of bat life . . . SUNWING (is a) truly spell-binding sequel (which) combines breathtaking suspense with humorous character development. * Literary Review - SILVERWING and SUNWING *
A fascinating, gripping adventure story * Teen Titles *
