Readers will be captivated by the gorgeous graphite

sighting. A legend started fifty years
ago involving a sighting of a Great Spotted Whale that was never
confirmed. Now two young whale watchers
set out to find the whale. When their
boats collide, they combine resources to attain irrefutable proof of the
whale’s existence.
The Murrows vividly capture the awesome magic of sighting a whale. The meticulous grey-scale illustrations offer incredible detail. The experience will resonate even with land-locked readers who have never participated in a whale watch. This is an excellent springboard to creative writing and storytelling.
