Publisher's Synopsis
BRAND NEW CHILDREN'S ADVENTURE STORY FROM CASS CLARK. FEATURES SONGS TO LISTEN TO AS YOU READ THE STORY. One of the last captive cetaceans, an old orca, captured many years ago and taken from his own kind, lies languishing in a green watery tank, his last wish being to tell his family about his life. Sky is a young girl who dreams and knows her own mind. A girl who plays guitar, (sort of), writes cool little songs, and rides her beloved late Dad's old motorbike, (when no one's looking). Sky is now alone in the world bar her one friend, the old orca. Every day, she visits him after school at the local aquarium, her only sanctuary from three bullies and the numbness she feels the rest of the time. Until one day, that is, when her life is transformed by a message she receives from the orca that sets her on a mission to find his long-lost family. But before she leaves, he imparts to her a secret gift that can be used only once and which, unbeknownst to her, will only activate when all else seems lost. Fuelled by a renewed sense of purpose, Sky sets out alone across open ocean, her only friends a solitary, abandoned dolphin and a kindly fisherman whose hidden past may decide the success or failure of her quest. How will she find the old orca's family? What is this mysterious gift? And how will she deliver this message? This is the story of a young girl on a mission to mend the broken heart of a friend, and perhaps find something better for herself and the world around her. This is the story of Orca Sky. Also available as interactive Kindle e-book (with songs embedded for offline listening), standard e-book (with online links to songs), and American-English editions.
