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.
A modern and inclusive guide to help every child understand their
journey from childhood to being a grown-up. Growing up is a natural
part of life, and every child deserves to understand the different
ways their body may change as they grow older. While puberty
happens to everyone, every child's journey from childhood to being
a grown-up will be as unique as they are! In this honest,
accessible illustrated guide to puberty, young readers can find out
exactly what may happen as they grow from being a child to becoming
a grown-up. From getting taller and discovering hair growing in new
places to developing breasts, experiencing periods or having wet
dreams, this book provides the perfect stepping stone for every
caregiver to have an open conversation about what it really means
for a child to be growing up. Working closely with a leading
national LGBT organisation as well as a biology specialist and an
equality, diversity and inclusivity consultant, Growing Up covers
everything from biological sex and gender identity to physical
changes and emotional development, including sections on
friendships and emotional health, creating and respecting
boundaries and online safety. Written in friendly and accessible
language that can be shared with a child or read independently,
Growing Up also includes a further reading section and glossary to
answer more complex questions, as well as signposting where young
readers can find help from trusted sources outside of the home or
school environment.
