About this title

Synopsis

"A Whale Of A Tale" tells the story of a young lad who lives with his mom in a seaport village. His Sea Captain father passed away years before, lost at sea. The boy longs to join the crew of a whaling ship to go to sea just as his father had before him. One day while he is down by the shoreline, the boy sees a baby whale stranded on shore at low tide and the whale's mother is unable to get her baby back into the water. The boy finds a way to keep the baby whale safe while the tide is slowly coming back in, eventually returning the baby to its mother. Later, the memory of that day will be recalled when the boy finally comes of age and goes to sea on a whaling ship. Keep reading inside to learn more.
