“A truly exceptional book.”—Washington Post
There's bad news and good news about the Cutter High School swim team. The bad news is that they don't have a pool. The good news is that only one of them can swim anyway. Bestselling author Chris Crutcher’s controversial and acclaimed novel follows a group of outcasts as they take on inequality and injustice in their high school.
"Crutcher's superior gifts as a storyteller and his background as a working therapist combine to make magic in Whale Talk. The thread of truth in his fiction reminds us that heroes can come in any shape, color, ability or size, and friendship can bridge nearly any divide.”—Washington Post
T.J. Jones hates the blatant preferential treatment jocks receive at his high school, and the reverence paid to the varsity lettermen. When he sees a member of the wrestling team threatening an underclassman, T.J. decides he’s had enough. He recruits some of the biggest misfits at Cutter High to form a swim team. They may not have very much talent, but the All-Night Mermen prove to be way more than T.J. anticipated. As the unlikely athletes move closer to their goal, these new friends might learn that the journey is worth more than the reward. For fans of Andrew Smith and Marieke Nijkamp.

"Beautifully drawn, brutally funny, brilliantly honest. Vera is
such a good cartoonist I almost can't stand it." --Raina
Telgemeier, author of Smile In Be Prepared, all Vera wants to do is
fit in--but that's not easy for a Russian girl in the suburbs. Her
friends live in fancy houses and their parents can afford to send
them to the best summer camps. Vera's single mother can't afford
that sort of luxury, but there's one summer camp in her price
range--Russian summer camp. Vera is sure she's found the one place
she can fit in, but camp is far from what she imagined. And nothing
could prepare her for all the "cool girl" drama, endless Russian
history lessons, and outhouses straight out of nightmares!
