Chasing at the Surface : A Novel Paperback Book
Sometimes finding your way home takes more than courage. It takes a leap of faith.Winner, National Outdoor Book Award Winner for Childrens LiteratureWinner, Childrens Book Council Outstanding Science Trade BooksYA Honorable Mention, Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award"As the orcas lives become increasingly imperiled, Marisa unleashes her imagination, her compassion, and her courage. . . Moments close to the orcas are breathtakingly described, accentuating the thrill as the whales breach, sound, and vocalize. Basing her story on actual events, the author has created a poignant novel that vividly celebrates the interconnected nature of all living creatures. Like the eerily beautiful voices of the orcas in the ocean, this book will haunt readers."Kirkus Reviews"Mentyka artfully weaves whale facts through this moving drama about family relationships and the natural world. Though whats outstanding is Mentykas skill at immersing readers in Marisas wonderful sensory scenes with the whales that could only come from her own firsthand experience. The parallels between the plight of the whales and Marisas confusion and anger at her mom reinforce that the answers to all of lifes questions can be found in nature. Chasing at the Surface is an unforgettable adventure that takes readers along on a heartpounding, upcloseandpersonal encounter with a pod of powerful orcas."Midwest Book ReviewChasing at the Surface tells the story of a young girls courage and the healing power of nature....
