Praise for this book

"...the library-after-dark setting works a magic all its own, taking Lies and his audience to an intensely personal place."

"These book-loving bats might encourage young readers to explore more stories on their own." -- San Antonio Express-News

"... appealing acrylic illustrations that teem with bats so charming they will even win over chiroptophobes." -- Booklist
