Song for A Whale

A stirring and heart-warming tale of a young deaf girl who is determined to make a difference, the perfect read for fans of Wonder. Iris was born deaf, but she`s never let that define her, after all, it`s the only life she`s ever known. And until recently she wasn`t even very lonely, because her grandparents are both deaf, too.

But Grandpa has just died and Grandma`s not the same without him. The only place Iris really feels at home anymore is in her electronics workshop where she loves taking apart antique radios. Then, during a science lesson about sound waves, Iris finds out about a whale who is unable to communicate with other whales.

The lonely whale awakens something in Iris. She`s determined to show him that someone in the world knows he`s there. Iris works on a foolproof plan to help the whale but she soon realises that that is not enough: Iris wants to find the whale herself.

One stolen credit card, two cruise ship tickets, and the adventure of a lifetime later, Iris and the whale each break through isolation to help one another be truly heard in ways that neither had ever expected.
