The Whale

The Whale

The Whale brings the peaceful sounds, sights, and characters of the coast vividly to life in the second book of The Lighthouse Family series.

Pandora, Seabold, Whistler, Lila, and Tiny have all been enjoying the love and comfort that being a family brings. But then, Whistler and Lila hear the cries of a lonely baby beluga whale named Sebastian.

When they learn that he has lost his mama, the Lighthouse Family, with the help of a cranky but noble old cormorant named Huck, does all it can to bring Sebastian and his mother together again.
