Isabel of the whales By:
Isabel is just a plain old girl going to a plain old school and living a plain old life. When she goes on a whale watching trip with her class her whole life turns around. Isabel is now a whale swimming through the sea with a new family and a completely different life. Will Isabel ever go home? Isabel lives with the whales, discovering more about whales then even the best marine biologist, and in the end she learns she has taught the whales too with out even realizing it. Isabel of the whales is a great book about family and friendship. I would definitely recommend it.
