Even though she's on vacation at the beach, young wizard Nita is still on active duty, available to assist any other wizard in distress. So when Nita meets the wizard S'reee, she is bound to promise help. Nita is needed to face the Lone Power, who is threatening life in the oceans. But although S'reee is a wizard, she is also a whale. Nita will need to shapeshift into a sea creature to join her. And when Nita learns that the final confrontation will take place 16,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, she begins to get uneasy. Explaining day-long absences to her curious parents will be tricky, too.
Diane Duane's Young Wizard books are marvelous combinations of fantasy, fast-paced adventure, and realism. As Nita crafts spells and prepares for what could be the ultimate sacrifice, you'll be pulled into her wondrous world. Christina Moore's vivid narration brings out the suspense and magic of each moment.

"I can't remember a lot about this book, considering I'm in 9th grade now and read it in 5th grade, but I think I did enjoy it. My comprehension level might have been a little too low to understand bits of the book, but I know that I got the gist of it." — Emily (4 out of 5 stars)

" Better than the first one "
" my least favorite of this series, but still worth reading for continuity sake "
" Hmm. This second book was a little bit more action-packed than the first, but it still wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I don't really like how Duane makes it sound like wizardry is a complex science- it gets boring that way. Either way, it was a good read. "
" Yo, I'm riding a whale. WHAT NOW?! "
" One of my favorites, investigating the deep. Magic and the exploration of the ocean, doesn't get much better than that. "
" I enjoyed this very much. I love whales, and how many books are set mostly underwater? On to the next one! "
" This one really haunted me. "
" This series continues to be cool. Loved the conception of whales and that the parents noticed what was going on and the kids got in trouble for it. "
" Awesome, just like the first!!!!!!! "
" Beautiful addition to the series. In this outing, Nita and Kit help the whale wizards reenact the defeat of the lone power. In essence, the book is about a whale passion play. Deeply moving. "
" loved this book and all the rest in the series. "
" I like the way that this book combines the fantasy 'learning to be a wizard' life with universal teenage problems. The story is creative and I enjoy the characters. However, I think we'll put the series aside for a while because the books move so slowly (we're reading out loud) and I need a break. "
" This is a really good book about 2 kids who have to save the world with their special powers as wizards. It's good but you should probably be at least 11 or 12 before reading it because it has a few kind of inappropriate parts. "
" Awesome book and awesome series! "
" My first jump into the series. "
" singing with whales "
" "And if you're doing what you're doing because of the way other people will feel about it-- you're definitely in the wrong business. What you do has to be done because of how you'll feel about you. . ." "
" This is an amazing book and one of my all-time favorites! "
" Still too scary / sad for J, alas. The dramatic tension is decreased because we know it's the second book in a long series, but the whole issue is handled well. A decent job of handling a non-human perspective, too. "
" This was the wrong book to read right before graduation, when I was already torn up about leaving. "
" In reading this I remember parts of the first book I read. I enjoyed the story enough to possibly read more. "
" Just as good as the first, which was amazing! I think this is my favourite book in the series. "
" A really wonderful, moving, and original fantasy. My favorite of the series. "
