When velvety dark descends, the whole colony wakes and the hollow comes alive with twitching and chittering. Bats are Aotearoa New Zealand’s only native land mammals. This book is set in an ancient forest, and follows Pekapeka, a short-tailed bat, on her nocturnal adventures as she forages for food, evades predators, and plays a crucial role in pollinating native plants, all while navigating the many dangers hidden in the night.
