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?

      Our girl wants to work with ocean animals. A heart-stopping tale of survival would be a perfect fit for a young reader learning about the ocean and the love of reading.

      My nephew, who lives in the Pacific Northwest, takes environmental issues very seriously. I think he would like to read this book both for its subject and its exciting plot.

      I get to talk to my grandson 1 time a week and we love talking about whales and dragons. He is behind in his reading no fault of his own and this would be so good for him to read with his tutor . He lives with a family in another state than I am and we always talk about a trip he and i are going on to HMB where i grew up in Ca where there is whale watching he gets so excited as he is almost 13 !

      I would love to win this book because it sounds like it would be great reading for both kids and adults. I especially like that it was heavily researched, so the story is realistic. There is a child the perfect age for this, who is just starting to read longer chapter books, that I know would enjoy this book.
