"A spellbinding, heart-stopping adventure." -Booklist (starred
review) "A dreamily written, slyly educational, rousing maritime
adventure." -New York Times Book Review In the stand-alone
companion to the New York Times-bestselling A Wolf Called Wander, a
young orca whale must lead her brother on a tumultuous journey to
be reunited with their pod. This gorgeously illustrated animal
adventure novel explores family bonds, survival, global warming,
and a changing seascape. Includes information about orcas and their
habitats. For Vega and her family, salmon is life. And Vega is
learning to be a salmon finder, preparing for the day when she will
be her family's matriarch. But then she and her brother Deneb are
separated from their pod when a devastating earthquake and tsunami
render the seascape unrecognizable. Vega must use every skill she
has to lead her brother back to their family. The young orcas face
a shark attack, hunger, the deep ocean, and polluted waters on
their journey. Will Vega become the leader she's destined to be? A
Whale of the Wild weaves a heart-stopping tale of survival with
impeccable research on a delicate ecosystem and threats to marine
life. New York Times-bestselling author Rosanne Parry's fluid
writing and Lindsay Moore's stunning artwork bring the Salish Sea
and its inhabitants to vivid life. An excellent read-aloud and
read-alone, this companion to A Wolf Called Wander will captivate
fans of The One and Only Ivan and Pax. Includes black-and-white
illustrations throughout, a map, and extensive backmatter about
orcas and their habitats.
