I read this book for a global reading challenge. I was deeply moved. Some parts were rough/odd, but by the end of the book, there is that sweet redemption and apology for jaded/hardened ways. I didn‘t expect to, but I cried and cried by the end. Beautiful visuals and connections with the ocean and spirits. I didn‘t like all of it but I am definitely glad to have read it. A beach read for me this week.

LapReader Australian kids study the movie at school. You might like it. I studied Once were Warriors at Uni too. It‘s a lot darker but very good if you want to learn more. 2mo
CordeliaGrey11 @LapReader I definitely will check out the movie! 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly I also watched the movie in school (college) and thought it was great. Better than the book—there was something about the book‘s writing style that I didn‘t like, though that was twenty years ago and I don‘t remember what that was! 2mo
CordeliaGrey11 @Clare-Dragonfly it is a little hard to follow the writing style! I can definitely see that. I look forward to checking out the movie 2mo

Book 9 for my #TenBeforeTheEnd and one I‘ve had on my shelf since it was long listed for the Women‘s Prize years ago. An entertaining tale based on true events in a whaling community in 1908. The main character Mary is funny and the writing had me laughing out loud a few times. Glad I finally read it!

ChaoticMissAdventures ✅ great job!! So close to completing the challenge! 5mo
sarahbarnes @ChaoticMissAdventures Thank you! One more!! 5mo

A rare case of “I think the movie did it better.” Whale Rider is a powerful story, but I found it cinematically more moving (which is a rare take for me). I listened to the audio on this reread and think that perhaps it would have benefited from not being read by the author. Not my fave Ihimaera.

This is an amazing book for older kids. It has beautiful photos in it that go along with explaining the amazing animals. And it fulfilled the last spot for #ISpyBingoMarch. I'm finally finished it! @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks #ReadAway24 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
