"i decided to read this book because i got it for christmas. this completes the box 'a book written by a female'. i liked this book because it was surprizingly factual. it had lots of facts about whales but it was false story. insane. some parts of this story were quite sad but some were funny and exciting. i would recommend to anyone, although it is quite a long one." — Chloe (5 out of 5 stars)
