ReviewsWalters has woven a touching story about the connection humans have with other living beings on Earth. Recommended for wide purchase., [A] page-turner...great for literature circles, guided reading groups, or whole class novel study., Scientific information is seamlessly woven in. Accessible for transitioning readers and graced with the occasional grayscale illustration, the book offers fast-paced action and tension surrounding the whale's fate--both will keep readers invested., The story highlights grandparents (and other adults) as support systems, sounding boards, and sources of advice, but sets the stage for children as heroes of their own tales. Children can experience vicarious empowerment and hopefully translate that fearlessness and determination into their own lives. Highly Recommended.
