Publisher Description
Twelve-year-old Koby isn't like the other kids in her class. She lost her right foot in an accident four years ago, and she is keenly aware that her classmates don't know how to act around her. The only place she feels at home is in her small boat, where she can watch whales play in the ocean. When Koby discovers a stranded mother whale and her baby, she realizes that their survival depends on her ability to keep them breathing through the night. But she is alone, and help is nowhere in sight.

"I read this when I was very young. It was my favorite book for years and years. I am wondering now where my copy is. Good book for a young teen. Like any other young girl I went through the I want to be a marine biologist phase and this book was part of the reason! Give it to a young gal you love."

" This was a pretty good book about a 12-year old girl who lost her foot in an accident when she was just 8. Not only is it about dealing with a disability, but it's about saving whales and family relationships. I enjoyed it, but found some of it kind of unbelievable. "

" I thought this book was o.k... i didnt LOVE it but i didnt hate it either. i have to say, it was not half bad. "

" This is a really good book. It showes determination and the writer is really super good. I read for SCOPE bookclub. It's a little bit different from Soul Surfer. If they made a movie for it, I would watch it. I really recomend you read Stranded! "
