By Josie Newman [email protected]

AJAX — Award-winning writer Kenneth Oppel is describing Dusk, the first bat who had the guts to try flying, to an assembly of Grades 4 to 6 children. Dusk is the central character in Mr. Op- pel’s newest book, ‘Darkwing’, the second in a trilogy published by Harper Collins Canada and the theme of his hour-long talk to the junior grades at Alexander Graham Bell Public School. The third book, ‘Starclimber’, will be released in September. The children sit silently, in rapt attention, throughout the whole hour and ask Mr. Oppel well-informed questions about his characters and how he became a writer. Winner of the 2004 Governor-General’s award for children’s literature, he’s been writing for a long time and is well-known to children in Grades 4 to 8, the age range his fantasy books are aimed at. First published in 1985 at age 17, Mr. Oppel has had 24 books published on sub- jects as diverse as a boy who has a real-life adventure inside a video game to his current theme of prehistoric creatures who have the Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo moxy to take the next step in the evolution Award-winning author Kenneth Oppel was at Alexander Graham Bell Public School speaking to students about writing and his new book. of their species.
