From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ernest Cline comes a mostly true
tall tale about an unexpected friendship between a young girl and a music-loving
colony of bats.
After losing her mother, thirteen-year-old Opal B Flats moves in with her uncle Roscoe
on the family farm. There, she bonds with Uncle Roscoe over music and befriends a group
of orphaned, music-loving bats. But just as the farm is starting to feel like home, the
bats’ cave is destroyed by a big mining company with its sights set on the farmland
next.
If Opal and the bats can fit in anywhere, it’s the nearby city of Austin, home to their
favorite music and a host of wonderfully eccentric characters. But with people afraid of
the bats and determined to get rid of them, it’ll take a whole lot of courage to prove
that this is where the bats—and Opal—belong.
Ernest Cline is the bestselling author of Ready Player One, Ready Player Two, and Armada and co-screenwriter of the film adaptation of Ready Player One, directed by Steven Spielberg. This is his debut middle-grade novel. He lives in Austin, Texas.
