The lost whale

About the book: the second novel by the wonderful author Hana Gold, author of "The Last Bear". An emotional story about adventure, recovery, and love. It will be perfect for all readers who loved "Bear", "Wander" in "A Wolf Named Tovaf", and Ivan in "The Unique and One-of-a-Kind Ivan". When Rio is sent to live with a grandmother he barely knows in California, he feels complete loneliness. Then he befriends a new friend on the foggy beach—a girl named Marina, who teaches him about the huge gray whales that migrate nearby. Rio discovers, and as his love for whales grows in his heart, that his mother also loved them. He suddenly becomes sure that if he can somehow find a way to connect her to these gentle giants—especially a whale named White Beak—her condition will improve, and she will come to join him in California. But White Beak is missing—and Rio must embark on a desperate journey across the dangerous ocean to find her. It is a novel that celebrates friendship, family, and love for nature and animals. It includes information about the real challenges faced by gray whales from climate change, pollution, and overfishing.
