From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ernest Cline comes a mostly true tall tale about an unexpected friendship between a young girl and a music-loving colony of bats.

But just as the farm is starting to feel like home, the bats cave is destroyed by a big mining company with its sights set on the farmland next.
