"The Lost Whale" by Michael Parfit

The Lost Whale--The True Story of Orca Named Luna by Michael Parfit and Suzanne Chisholm is an interesting story about saving a whale named Luna. So many people had contact with Luna it became a crime to interact with her. Lots of people tried to help Luna get back to her whale friends. That is the main story in this book. I liked it.

Stranded by Ben Mikaelsen

Stranded by Ben Mikaelsen is a young adult fiction book about a Jr. High girl who has lost her foot in an accident and finally gets accepted at school when everyone hears about her saving two whales.  The story delves into her feelings about her parents separation, school, fears of what others think about her and how she finally accepts herself.  In reading this book, I learned a bit more about whales and liked the theme that was not to judge people by how they look on the outside, but to look deeper at who people really are.  Her special relationship she had with the whales was interesting.  I enjoyed this light, fast read very much.  I think the author did a fantastic job at getting inside the head of a young girl.
