Bookroo's summary

Dr. Merlin Tuttle is captivated by bats, nature's night-time insect predators. But a deadly threat looms: white-nose syndrome, decimating bat populations across North America. As bats vanish, ecosystems hang in the balance. Tuttle and his team of scientists race against time to combat this mysterious disease. Will they succeed in preserving these vital creatures, or will the night skies fall silent? Dive into a world where science meets adventure, and the fate of bats hangs by a thread.

From the publisher

“Rich with fascinating information and photographs.”–Horn Book Dr. Merlin Tuttle is fascinated by bats, with good reason. Bats fly the night skies the world over, but are the least studied of all mammals. As the major predator of night-flying insects, bats eat many pests. But bats are facing many problems, including a scary new disease. White-nose syndrome is killing millions of bats in North America. Dr. Tuttle and his fellow bat scientists are on the front line of the fight to save their beloved bats. Find more about this series at www.sciencemeetsadventure.com.
