(2) 4-6 As the offspring of the bat heroes of Silverwing and Sunwing, Griffin has a lot to live up to. His first adventure, however, ends disastrously, with his best friend mortally burned. In grief, Griffin flees into a crack in the earth and is sucked into the underworld realm of the bat god of death. Challenges and narrow escapes keep readers turning the pages, as the characters forge bravely forward despite their fears and inadequacies.
