Synopsis: A perfect summer read about whale watching and friendship both lost and found, from the author of Emily Wilde&’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries and The Islands of ElsewhereWhen Fern hears about a photo contest with a big cash award, she decides she&’ll enter and win! After all, photography is her passion (and was an interest she shared with her dad, who has recently died). She knows she can take a prize-worthy photo of a whale during one of the whale-watching tours her mom runs.But her neighbor (and nemesis), Jasper, is also planning to enter the contest. It&’s another frustration for Fern while she&’s already coping with the worry that her best friend, Ivy, might not want to spend time with her anymore. She&’s hoping to use the prize money to buy something that will attract Ivy&’s interest.This summer story has everything: the trials and pleasures of friendship, a rousing feud and a touch of adventure, a beautiful exploration of healing after grief, a very moving finale, and a whole lot of whale-watching fascination.
