Going Batty 2012.10.27 184 ode kake* blog 184 EHBI 2013.10.26 184 ode kake* blog. A warm, charming and ever so slightly batty celebration of family love, inspiring teachers, and the great characters who make all our lives more interesting. Shona likes most creatures in the world, but for some reason, she's terrified of bats. So, she's a bit concerned when her new teacher announces they're about to begin a bat project. But that's nothing compared to how she feels when a colony of the pesky flappers turns up in her own attic! Luckily, Miss Bates turns out to be a bat expert, and she's soon on the case. Going Batty is particularly suitable for readers aged 7 and up, with a reading age of 7.
