“A dreamily written, slyly educational, rousing maritime adventure.” —New York Times Book Review

In the stand-alone companion to the New York Times–bestselling A Wolf Called Wander, a young orca whale must lead her brother on a tumultuous journey to be reunited with their pod. This animal adventure novel explores family bonds, survival, global warming, and a changing seascape. Includes information about orcas and their habitats.

For Vega and her family, salmon is life. And Vega is learning to be a salmon finder, preparing for the day when she will be her family’s matriarch. But then she and her brother Deneb are separated from their pod when a devastating earthquake and tsunami render the seascape unrecognizable. Vega must use every skill she has to lead her brother back to their family. The young orcas face a shark attack, hunger, the deep ocean, and polluted waters on their journey. Will Vega become the leader she’s destined to be?

A Whale of the Wild weaves a heart-stopping tale of survival with impeccable research on a delicate ecosystem and threats to marine life. New York Times-bestselling author Rosanne Parry’s fluid writing brings the Salish Sea and its inhabitants to vivid life. An excellent read-aloud and read-alone, this companion to A Wolf Called Wander will captivate fans of The One and Only Ivan and Pax.

Includes extensive backmatter about orcas and their habitats.

I like that they don’t have a single character which we hear at the part of the story that is why it’s my favorite part

Not really much, but if I have to say something, I would say using one of the main characters to split up the cast into a smaller group

Wonder yet heartbreaking story

This is such an amazing story. Sadly very heartbreaking since it’s based on the truth these whales are living. However it’s a story our children need to know.

Loved it! definitely worth a credit 👌❤️😄

I love the way that Roseanne Perry's books make me feel and the narrator also really helped with that. she made me want to keep listening and not stray the book I also love a wolf called wander. it's one of my all-time favorite books.
