Readers are instantly plunged into the close-knit pod as its members work together and share stories and knowledge with younger generations. The hungry pod travels toward the mouth of a river awaiting the salmon, but this year, the fish are late. Just as she did with A Wolf Called Wander (2019), Parry creates a spellbinding, heart-stopping adventure for middle-grade readers-this time about a pod of orca whales and their plight in today’s Salish Sea.
