Sue - July 2022

A genuine comparison to those that love Michael Morpurgo’s book. Thoughtful and emotive, Hannah Gold also wrote ‘The Last Bear’. “When Rio’s mum goes into hospital, he is sent to California to stay with a grandmother he barely knows. All Rio wants is for Mum to get better so he can return home – until he joins a whale-watching trip and in the vast incredibleness of the ocean he meets White Beak – a gentle giant of the sea. Rio forms an instant bond with the whale, and for the first time in ages he feels a spark of hope. But when White Beak goes missing Rio may be the only person who can help. As he embarks on the biggest adventure of his life, can Rio draw on their special connection to somehow find and save his whale?”
