Summary

The Lost Whale is the enchanting second novel from the author of The Last Bear: the bestselling debut hardback of 2021 and The Times Children’s Book of the Week, winner of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the Blue Peter Award and shortlisted for the British Book Awards and the Indie Book Awards 2022

What if you could communicate with a whale?

Rio has been sent to live with a grandmother he barely knows in California, while his mum is in hospital back home. Alone and adrift, the only thing that makes him smile is joining his new friend Marina on her dad's whale watching trips. That is until an incredible encounter with White Beak, a gentle giant of the sea changes everything. But when White Beak goes missing, Rio must set out on a desperate quest to find his whale and somehow save his mum.

Dive into this incredible story about the connection between a boy and a whale and the bond that sets them both free.

Memorable story that could spark change

Another beautifully written book by Hannah Gold. I enjoyed this one even more than The Last Bear. it felt more realistic and more relatable to children of today. I loved the way the subject of mental health was captured and how that ended in such a delicate and real way. This book should be respected as an educational tool for it's sincerity and simplicity. Stunning.

A wonderful story with a warm-hearted connection between a humpback whale and a boy.
