The River Whale

My review
Told in a mixture of poetry and story, the river whale is a fun book to read. With 72 pages, it is a quick read but a very enjoyable one. Immy has had a bad nights sleep dreaming about a trapped whale, but when she wakes up she is shocked to find her nightmare is a reality. Will Immy save the trapped whale?
Online review
Immy has always loved wild swimming; one day, she hopes to become a marine biologist. Tomorrow is the first step towards that goal – completing her entry level diving certificate.
But her plans for a good night’s sleep are ruined by a strange and vivid dream of a distressed whale in the river. At school she tries to shake it off, but discovers that her nightmare has leaked into reality.
Immy and her trusty friend Cosmo must head for the Thames on a mission to save the trapped river whale. Can Immy use her skills to release it from the rubbish-filled nets it’s caught in and guide it home?
Told in a mixture of free verse and prose, this is the beautiful new short adventure from Sita Brahmachari, with illustrations by Poonam Mistry.
