Chasing at the Surface | Sharon Mentyka

1 post | 1 read

Sometimes finding your way home takes more than courage. It takes a leap of faith. Chasing at the Surface tells the story of a young girl s courage and the healing power of nature. After her mother unexpectedly leaves home, twelve-year old Marisa struggles with her feelings of loss and abandonment just as a pod of nineteen orca whales mothers with their new calves following a run of chum salmon become trapped in the enclosed inlet near her Northwest home. Marisa s journey to help the whales find their way home brings her to a new understanding of the assaults humans have had on nature, and the complicated meaning of family and home."

Chasing at the Surface | Sharon Mentyka

Middle grade book, but I tested it out before gifting it! A local (Pacific Northwest) story about the L pod of orcas getting struck in an inlet,and the struggle to help them get out before they starved. Based on a true story-- I was totally "in" with the 12 year old heroine. So cool to have the names of the orcas, as well as a map of the inlet.
