Rating:
I gave Sunwing 5 BIG `s because it's an amazing book,  the best of all 3 of the series (Silverwing, Sunwing, and Firewing)! I think that Kenneth Oppel did an amazing job on this series! The adventure is fantastic and those bats and owls are described in such a way that they seem like humans trying to solve all kinds of problems and face challenges that come their way.
