By Ethan Murrow and Vita Murrow
What drew me to this book first was the amazing illustrations. Ethan did each one in pencil. I’m so impressed with what big talent and a little graphite can do. The story is delightful too. The beginning starts with a newspaper clipping about a possible whale sighting 50 years ago. Two young people decide to set off on their own to see if it was true. After a mishap, they join forces on their adventure, all described through pictures. The end turns to the newspaper again for a clever conclusion. I recommend this for all ages.
