Um þessa rafbók

A coming-of-age story set in 1910s Australia, where a young girl challenges tradition and discovers her connection to nature.

Twelve-year-old Savannah Dawson lives on a whaling station in New South Wales, but she dreams of more than just cooking for the crew. Haunted by the mysterious deaths of her brothers, Savannah is determined to become a whaler and prove herself to her father. When she meets Figgie, an aboriginal boy, she learns about the Law of the Bay and the delicate balance between humans and nature.

As Savannah hones her whaling skills, she uncovers a deeper connection to the orcas that help her family hunt. But when a ruthless fishing fleet owner threatens the orcas' existence, Savannah must choose between her family's legacy and protecting the creatures she has come to respect. Will she find a way to avenge her brothers while honoring the Law of the Bay? Perfect for readers interested in historical fiction, environmental themes, and strong female characters.
