As construction begins on the largest marine amusement park in the world, the abuse of killer whales continues, both during capture and in captivity. As the parks head biologist, Mark Tillsdale, and eight crew members head into the waters that surround Santa Catalina Island to hunt orcas during their migration season, one whale fails to escape their net. After a three-year-old orca is captured and torn from his family, the young male is quickly deemed unsuitable for training, killed, and thrown back into the sea. When the mother orca and her pod find her offsprings carcass, they vow revenge. Soon, ocean justice begins as the pod brutally attacks and kills humans along the California coast. After a mature male orca escapes from a marine amusement park and joins the pod, the killing continues, even as marine biologists, land-based law enforcement, the Coast Guard, and others attempt to fight back. Unfortunately they are all about to discover that what human cruelty unleashed, no man can stop. In this gripping tale, a mother whale and her pod become bloodthirsty murders after her offspring is brutally killed by staff from a marine amusement park.

From the most celebrated children’s nature writer of our time comes a posthumous new novel in the tradition of her Newbery award-winning Julie of the Wolves In 1848, a young boy witnesses a rare sight—the birth of a bowhead, or ice whale, he calls Siku. Years later, he unwittingly brings about the death of an entire pod of whales, and only Siku survives. For this act, the boy receives a curse of banishment. Through the generations, this curse is handed down: Siku returns year after year, in reality and dreams, to haunt the boy’s descendants. Told in alternating voices, both human and whale, Jean Craighead George’s last novel shows the interconnectedness of humankind and the animals they depend on. “It’s a bold, wistful, and heartfelt coda to a distinguished career.”—School Library Journal

Narrative of the Most Extraordinary and Distressing Shipwreck of the Whale-ship Essex is an account by first mate Owen Chase of the Essex, a whale ship from Nantucket, Massachusetts, that was sunk by a sperm whale in the Pacific Ocean near South American in 1820. Of the twenty-man crew, only eight survived the horrific ordeal; some men were stranded on an island, all remaining crew were forced to eat food tainted by seawater and drink their own urine, and finally, when members of the crew started dying, those still alive resorted to cannibalism until they were rescued. Narrative of the Whale-ship Essex inspired Herman Melville to write his enduring classic Moby-Dick in 1851; it also inspired the 2015 movie In the Heart of the Sea, based on the 2000 best-selling book of the same name.
