Eleven-year-old Fern grapples with her father's death, a distant best friend, and a failing family business, but discovers an unexpected connection with neighbor Jasper as they collaborate on a photography contest and attempt to photograph an endangered pod of killer whales. - Baker & Taylor
"Determined to take a prize-worthy photo of a whale during one of her momâs whale-watching tours to win a big cash award, Fern embarks on an unexpected journey of self-discovery during one unforgettable, adventure-filled summer while also coping with the death of her father. Simultaneous eBook." - Penguin Putnam
A perfect summer read about whale watching and friendship both lost and found, from the author of Emily Wildeâs Encyclopaedia of Faeries and The Islands of Elsewhere
When Fern hears about a photo contest with a big cash award, she decides sheâll enter and win! After all, photography is her passion (and was an interest she shared with her dad, who has recently died). She knows she can take a prize-worthy photo of a whale during one of the whale-watching tours her mom runs.
But her neighbor (and nemesis), Jasper, is also planning to enter the contest. Itâs another frustration for Fern while sheâs already coping with the worry that her best friend, Ivy, might not want to spend time with her anymore. Sheâs hoping to use the prize money to buy something that will attract Ivyâs interest.
This summer story has everything: the trials and pleasures of friendship, a rousing feud and a touch of adventure, a beautiful exploration of healing after grief, a very moving finale, and a whole lot of whale-watching fascination.
