The Song of the Whales
The Song of the Whales | Uri Orlev
1 post | 3 read
Michael’s grandfather has a secret—a secret that’s almost too strange to share . . . When Michael moves to Israel, he leaves loneliness behind and steps into the light of his grandfather’s magic. Like a sorcerer’s apprentice, Michael learns how to blur the lines between dreams and reality when his grandfather hands down the most precious of gifts—a gift that allows Michael passage into his grandfather’s dreams. Written with a quiet simplicity that wins the reader over at once Uri Orlev writes in a style so sure and yet so unassuming that it is certain to linger in reader’s minds long after turning the last page.

Purchased years ago for a book club read but only just got to it my last visit home. Not what I expected but very lovely and fanciful. This is definitely the first children's book I've read set in Israel. Finished post pots and pans percussion party. #mommyreads #middlegrade
