- Synopsis
- Set in the near future, this story features an unusual girl named Neri who lives alone on an island, speaking only to her friend "Jali" or Charley, a humpback whale. Neri develops a friendship with the inhabitants of an underwater research facility called ORCA (Oceanic Research Centre of Australia), in particular the two Australian boys Jason and Brett, and eventually their marine-biologist mother Dianne Bates. Neri has super-human strength, super-human lung capacity, and most important for ORCA, the ability to talk to whales. A sinister plot unfolds when a rival research station captures the whale in a fenced bay, but Jason and Brett stage a daring rescue. This book is based on the first season of an Australian science fiction TV series.
