I bought these books to read to my 7 year old daughter - thinking that they would be exciting and fun. While they *were* exciting and fun, I was also surprised about the depths the book took in terms on religion, philosophy, beliefs, and faiths. I thought the books did an excellent job of teaching why people sometimes choose to believe the things they do - and the consequences of those choices.

The books were a little bit scary sometimes - but nothing my 7 year old couldn't handle. I highly recommend these books.

I first read Silverwing for my reading group at school. In fact, it wasn't even a group- no one but me wanted to read it, so I was my own book! Those people do not know what they're missing. Silverwing was great, so right away I went out and bought Sunwing. It was even better than the first. Finally I bought and read Firewing, which was awesome but now as good as the first two. This is one of my favorite series! My favorite in the series is Sunwing, because it ties everything up. It seems like Firewing was just written so the question "what happens next" is answered. It is still good. After reading this trilogy, you will never look at bats the same way again!

I originally saw the series with my little cousin whose 9 on Toon Disney.

At first I was skeptical, but then the story grabbed me. Well I decided it was immature to stay up and watch a cartoon. So I did some research and found this amazing trilogy. So much too it. Sometimes I feel it gets a bit violent from the problems Shade faces, however this book puts a lot of problems most people face and how this runty bat overcame those obstacles in his life.

I'm 20 years old, but boy did I get captured by these amazing tales!

Don't be a skeptic. Read it for yourself!

This is a wonderful book set for children. It stirs the imagination and paints colorful pictures in the mind. The story of Shade Silverwing and his struggles is wonderful and does discribe several differant speicies of bats. At the end of each book the author tells about the bats that inspired him. He describes the entire world through sound (not colors). There are so many good points about this set and I hope that there are more coming! I highly recommend this to any parent that is trying to get their child into reading again. It is so loved that ToonDisney has made a series of it!

Silverwing is an action packed book with a well described plot. In this story Shade is blown out to sea and lands on an island. He then meets his new friend Marina. They then decide that they must find shades colony and warn them about the owls closing down the sky before it is too late. On their journey they face many trials and difficulties on their way but never even think about giving up.

This book is a good quick read. It has a great plot and exciting character. It would be great for anyone over ten. This story has an exciting plot and a meaningful theme; this is a very well written story. I think that the theme was very clear in this story. This book is one of few that have a great plot and theme.
