Outsider Alysie Muckpa, a Tlingit Native American, has a superpower to communicate with whales. When Natsilane the gray whale she has bonded with, washes up dead together with other whales, she must face the most important decision of her young life, save the whales that keep our oceans healthy, or risk destroying her dreams for the future. Determined to protect the whales from manmade dangers, Alysie teams with teens who live along the whales’ migration on the Pacific coast. Together with sensitive Sarah from San Francisco, and brave Macho from Baja Mexico, the three hatch daring schemes to save the endangered whales before it is too late. The teenagers from diverse backgrounds share a special connection for these intelligent mammals who communicate with one another through songs, and like trees, reduce the harmful effects of climate change. The three Eco warriors will need to summon extraordinary courage to face down powerful corporations fueling climate change and the fury of nature itself. But time is running out. The oceans are filling with plastic, Alaskan villages are flooding. The odds are stacked against them, but the three aren’t about to give up. Teens drawn to magical realism, science and adventure set in the natural world, will be entertained and inspired by The Whale's Lament.
