Search for the Holy Whale: A coming-of-age story about the importance of our connection to animals and Mother Earth

By Selena Jane

Would you leave the safety of your people and face your darkest fears to search for a mythical white whale and find your missing family?

After escaping a devastating tidal wave, which sweeps through their village, 14-year-old Sari, her siblings and their friend Raden, along with his shadow fox, enter the forbidden forest catapulting the foursome into a dangerous adventure.

Attacked by beautiful, but vicious giant butterflies, they quickly understand that what they once knew is no longer. Strange phenomena are occurring, resulting in an imbalance in nature on their island.

Could the legend of the Holy Whale, and the absence of the whales from their waters be connected to the disappearance of their family and Mother Nature's displeasure? Is their side of the island really cursed?

Sari discovers how important the connection is between herself, her companions, the island and the animals that inhabit the island with her.

Can Sari and her kin rescue their mother and father, free the Holy Whale and restore balance before it's too late and return home to safety?
