by Des Hunt
This is another exciting adventure story, set on a remote coast of Wairarapa, New Zealand. Des Hunt has woven together story strands involving Jake, his solo dad, a possible new partner and her daughter, a fictional international rock celebrity, a persistent member of the paparazzi, and a whale and her calf. Des explores and explains about surfing, whale beaching, old whaling stations, and tsunami, while the story unfolds and comes to an exciting but satisfying climax and conclusion.
Suitable for primary, intermediate and junior secondary age.

I agree this is a wonderful read and would also appeal to adults. It grabbed me from the beginning and yes, the conclusion is satisfying. Hunt is great at building suspense into the plot. I look forward to reading another book written by him.
