When a majestic whale is stranded near their Scottish hometown, Tulsi and Satchen must summon all their courage to save it in this thrilling adventure from award-winning author Jasbinder Bilan.
After rowing out to an island near their seaside home, Tulsi and Satchen discover a whale that has been trapped in a fishing net.
