Review: I enjoyed listening to this book. It was about a girl and a whale. Her Grandpa doesn't like her because he wanted a boy grandchild instead of a girl. He was looking for a chief to carry on their traditions and duties. It wasn't the best book because it was read by a narrator with an strong accent. It would be hard for younger kids to listen to. Also there was a lot of death in the book so I would recommend it for older kids. It is a sad book.
I also watched the move. The movie was very different from the book. The story didn't follow the book. The scenes in the book were described differently from the movie. There were missing parts of the book in the movie. The movie dragged on and was hard to stay interested in.
The book was most interesting to me because it talked a lot about where man originated from. I would give it a 4/10 rating of my favorite books.
