BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |

This second instalment in Kenneth Oppel's award-winning series about the little bat who could is actually a well written adventure yarn which stretches from the far North all the way down to Brazil. Pitting diminutive bat "Shade" against the menacing vampire bat "Goth" makes for some harrowing chapters with just enough supernatural touches (not to mention interference from evil humans) to make you want to turn the next page. But a children's book? With passages detailing bloody sacrifices, demonic monsters, and grisly wounds it's not exactly your typical bedtime story... (
