Goodreads Synopsis: 

A sweet and hilarious chapter book about a boy and a bat, two unlikely friends who bond over loneliness, jellyrolls and Darth Vader.

Daniel Misumi has just moved to a new house. It's big and old and far away from his friends and his life before. AND it's haunted . . . or is it?
Megabat was just napping on a papaya one day when he was stuffed in a box and shipped halfway across the world. Now he's living in an old house far from home, feeling sorry for himself and accidentally scaring the people who live there.

Daniel realizes it's not a ghost in his new house. It's a bat. And he can talk. And he's actually kind of cute.

Megabat realizes that not every human wants to whack him with a broom. This one shares his smooshfruit.

Add some buttermelon, juice boxes, a lightsaber and a common enemy and you've got a new friendship in the making!

This charming, funny story is brought to life by Kass Reich's warm and adorable illustrations. There's never been a bat this cute -- readers will be rooting for Megabat and Daniel from page one! 

Review: 
This is the first book of the Mega bat series that I have read, but it was a delightful book that you can pick up without even having the first one. 

In this installment though, Megabat is not a fan of the new family member, the fancy cat Priscilla, and he is angry and sad about all the attention she is getting. His friend Daniel likes the cat and he doesn't understand why, she is always hiding and is just no fun. Megabat does everything in his power to get rid of her and in the process causes an lot of problems for Daniel and the family. 

Megabat is a cute little bat that just wants to be loved and it shows in this book. It will be a great one to teach kids about sharing love and how easy it is for jealousy to show up in normal, everyday things. 

The book is a quick read and it includes illustrations throughout which are additionally adorable and fun.
