From killers to conservationists, Carnegie-shortlisted Chris Vick
tells the story of three generations of the Kristensen family,
their history as whale hunters and later their mission to save the
great whales and our planet. Summer, the Present Fiery and fierce,
computer geek and eco-activist, Abi is holidaying with her
grandmother on an island off the Norwegian coast. Having developed
and befriended an AI device, Moonlight, she hopes to organise a
global protest. On the island, she learns her great-grandfather
rejected the family's whaling livelihood, instead creating the
first whale song recording. Inspired by him, Abi and Moonlight
translate the whales' songs and discover their stories. Whales are
under threat, their numbers rapidly dwindling. Abi is determined to
help. Autumn, 30 years later The world's ecosystems are collapsing.
There is no sight or sound of whales. Abi, her daughter, Tonje, and
a now almost conscious Moonlight live on an isolated island in the
Atlantic. They search for any sign of whales, but so far there is
only silence. Winter, the Future Tonje's search was not in vain.
Despite climate crisis and the threat of extinction, there is
always hope for the future, as nature and technology combine in a
captivating, action-packed adventure with a powerful environmental
call to arms.
