Bat Brikson is less than two centimetres tall—but his dreams are bigger than the sky.
Tired of feeling like a misfit, Bat hitches a ride on his newly hatched moth and takes off on a daring quest. His mission? To fly beyond the grass, find the legendary enemy dragonfly-riders, and finally discover where he belongs. But the world above is nothing like he imagined. From riding beetles and exploring treetop villages to joining sky-high honey quests and befriending a fierce young warrior named Elfrida, Bat is swept into a world of wonder—and danger. The dragonfly-riders, known as the Drakkonbarqs, aren’t the villains he was raised to fear. In fact, some of them feel more like home than the classmates he left behind.As Bat navigates battles, secrets, and shifting loyalties, he begins to realise that being different doesn’t mean you don’t belong. And that sometimes, the greatest quest isn’t to change yourself—but to see others more clearly.
A soaring adventure full of bravery, friendship, and the magic of finding your place in the world.
