The Girl Who Sang With Whales is a story like no other. It follows the adventure of a girl born into an island culture with strong ties to nature, particularly the ocean. The main character of the story, Zhialeiana, has a bond even stronger to the sea. She bears remarkable qualities of aquatic life, such as one webbed foot and unusual eyes and most notably she can sing in a way that speaks to the animals of the ocean. At her mother's funeral a whale appears at her song, and event that creates quite a stir in the tribal culture. As the story progresses she finds that her real father holds some clues as to her origins and her great gifts. I won't spoil anymore of the story, but I will say that this book is an epic fantasy adventure that is sure to delight and inspire anyone who reads it.
