Benjamin is a boastful bat.

He's a mighty hunter of moths and bugs who believes flying blind is his superpower. But while showing off for a friend, he becomes the hunted.

If he wants to live with the kind creatures in his forest home, he'd better learn humility and become Benjamin Bat, not Benjamin Brat.

New characters meet old favorites, Boon and Sneaks, in Kathy J. Perry's ongoing Oakwoods series of warm and delightful animal stories.
