Kenneth Oppel

In this thrilling continuation of Shade's saga, Kenneth Oppel recaptures the adventure and poignancy of Silverwing, which Smithsonian magazine called "a tour-de-force fantasy," and takes it to a new level of excitement. Swept up in a perilous journey that takes them to the far southern jungle into the homeland of Goth, Shade and Marina must use all their resource-fulness to rescue Shade's father--and stop Goth from creating eternal night. Already a bestseller in trade paperback--nearly 50,000 copies sold--Sunwing is the most anticipated mass market release this season. "In Sunwing, Oppel admirably fulfills his promise of a sequel. The pace is hectic, the villains are dastardly, and the narrative style is that of a series of extremely visual scenes. By book's end, in a tour-de-force of clever plotting, all is resolved. This book is a natural for the on-screen generation."--Sarah Ellis, Quill & Quire "Oppel's skill as a writer is such that, short of developing furry wings and bat sonar, the reader begins to see and experience the world as a bat would, and arrives at a point when she or he cares deeply whether Shade Silverwing and his cohorts live or die...a wonderful story."--Susan Perren, The Globe and Mail "Sunwing will keep young readers glued to the page. Right and wrong, breathtaking struggles, good and bad, loveable little creatures and dastardly big bullies were all there. The prose and the multi-layered plot flow with natural ease. Oppel is master of his words. He writes nuanced, economic prose that is wholly effective. Oppel is a beautiful writer who carries us through his wide world with eclectic energy, wisdom and whimsy."--Elizabeth MacCallum, National Post
