Alex is lost inside herself. She has been filled with grief and remorse ever since
her twin brother Adam died in a freak accident, and she blames herself for
anything and everything. Her family is broken: her mom and dad are at each
other’s throats nonstop, and for no apparent reason.
To get away from her heartbreaking past, Alex’s parents have shipped her off to
her Aunt Sophie’s on a small island called Brier Island. She hates everything
about it there; the nosy people that seem to know everything about everybody
and especially, the endless questions.
She shuts herself off from the outside world and puts up mental barriers so no one can really get to know her. And so slowly she begins to bond with a baby humpback whale named Daredevil, aptly named for its endeavors away from its mother. Alex finds that Daredevil is a copy of Adam in many ways, and the baby whale becomes her only joy in her island prison. After an accident occurs on a whale watching expedition, Alex slowly begins a friendship with Rachel, a little girl with a mind of her own, and starts to open herself up to her newfound friend. In this wonderfully thrilling tale of self-discovery and friendship by Jo Anne Yhard, Alex learns to come to terms with the death of her brother, and is able to find herself again through a life-or-death situation. This book will leave you feeling warm inside and waiting for more, and is a necessity for everyone’s bookshelf.
