Shona likes almost every creature, but bats terrify her. So when her new teacher, Miss Bates, announces a project about bats, Shona is already nervous.

Luckily, Miss Bates knows a great deal about bats and soon arrives to investigate. As Shona learns more, she begins to see these misunderstood creatures in a completely different light.
