Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

So Emily sets sail for an adventure on the high seas, where perhaps there is a place for her after all...

An appealing nautical tale, this will have reflective readers wondering why whales would come to the rescue of a whaling ship, but O’Neill’s language has a roll and verve that captures her young heroine’s spirit perfectly.
