(2) 4-6 Natural selection bumps up against social hierarchies in this bat prehistory that anticipates Silverwing. Dusk looks different from the other chiropters. Climbing trees is a struggle, but he can fly, which becomes an asset. Dusk's world is different from our own, but the social interactions are familiar. There's so much outsized prehistoric action, readers will be happily swept along for the ride.
