Paperback edition of Jacqueline Wilson's moving and true-to-life story for her younger fans, aged 8+. Ella's mum is in a coma, having just had a new baby. So Ella's left with her hopeless step-dad and a tiny newborn brother. But her school project about whales gives her inspiration; perhaps a whale song could get through to her mum, wherever she is? With illustrations by Nick Sharratt.
Synopsis
Ella's mum is in a deep coma, having just had a new baby. That means Ella has to live with Jack, her hopeless stepfather, and cope with her tiny newborn brother, as well as worrying about Mum. The only thing that's going right is her school project. It's all about whales and how they sing out to each other to attract a mate - sometimes for hours.
