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.
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..
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 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.
There, Opal bonds with Uncle Roscoe over music and befriends a group of orphaned, music-loving bats.
After losing her mother, thirteen-year-old Opal moves in with her uncle Roscoe on the family farm.
