Oh Crabshells!  What a great book!  The Girl Who Sang With Whales is set in a world of water where all know human civilization lives on small islands and their entire world view incorporates the sea.  Fishing and inter-island trading are two very important activities and one of the most important persons in this world is the bard-navigator who can sing to whales.  In this world this is mainly a man's job and generally a man who comes from the city so it is quite remarkable when a small girl from a mostly uninhabited island on the fringe of the known world not only has this ability but also the ability appears to be tremendously strong.The book is written for teenagers but as an adult I quite enjoyed it.  Particularly I was thoroughly immersed in the world Mr Secchia built.  There are many lessons throughout the book as the motivations and actions of several of the characters are complex and engaging.I received this book for free as an evaluation copy.A worthy download.
