She darts past us in the dark, nimble as a gymnast, swift as a jet fighter. Deadly. Thrilling. In the pitch-black midwinter, Nat, Kokos, and Dad are getting ready for a sunny holiday abroad. They plan to visit a water park, join a sandcastle competition, and stuff themselves with ice cream. But when they spot a wild, disoriented bat flitting through the dusk, fear spreads across the city and their plans scatter to the wind.

Unafraid of the dark, Nat makes a fateful decision that turns their world upside down. Bat is a rather funny, somewhat frightening, and slightly philosophical story about what lurks in the dark; the unknown, the unsettling, and the uncontrollable.
