Summary: In search of his father and the secret of the bands, shade discovers a mysterious human building that contains a vast forest. Home to thousands of bats, the forest is warm as a summer night, teeming with insect food-and free from the deadly owls. Is this Paradise? Shade and his Brightwing friend, Marina, aren't so sure. What happens to all the bats who suddenly go missing? and where is Shade's father? It isn't long before they are swept up in a perilous adventure that takes them to the far southern jungle and to the homeland of Goth, now king of all the Vampyrum Spectrum, cannibal bats with three-foot wingspans. Battling giant praying mantises and barracudas, and with the help of an owl prince and a rat army, Shade must use all his resourcefulness to try to rescue his father- and stop goth from creating eternal night. PRAISE FOR SILVERWING "A tour-de-force fantasy... a can't -put-it-down adventure for readers around age 8 all the way to adult."_ Smithsonian magazine (a 1997 Notable Book)
