Michael, a young boy growing up on the tropical island of Rose Town, has been saving up for his own fishing boat for years. But when a terrible storm wrecks his home, Michael is forced to take a job working for a rich, mysterious newcomer named Spargo.

Spargo asks Michael to search for one thing in the deep waters around Rose Town - whales . . .
It's a deeply moving story, the memory of which will stay with the reader - and hopefully will raise awareness for the plight of these beautiful creatures
