Songs of the Bats

After the loss of her mother, thirteen-year-old Opal moves to her uncle Roscoe's family farm. Their whole family is crazy about music, and because of this, Opal and her uncle suddenly attract the attention of a whole colony of bats, who watch a weekly music show with them on TV. But just as Opal gets used to her new life, her uncle's farm is taken away due to debts, and a large mining company destroys the cave where the bats live. Opal, along with her uncle Roscoe and the bats, heads to Austin, the world capital of live music. There, they face new challenges: the townspeople are afraid of the bats and hope to get rid of them quickly. Opal will need a lot of courage to prove that there is a place for all of them in this city and on this land.
