A fiction based historical book. Gives a glimpse of what life was like before and during WW1 on the Scilly island's. My favourite character was Gracie, because the story is about her adventures with her friend Daniel, during this time. She copes with hardship and loss, but her story ends happily. I liked the way the islanders pulled together to save the stranded narwhal. The story is disturbing in parts, so would recommend for older children.

The best book ever. I loved when the children were lost on Samson and when they tried to save the whales.

My favourite character was Gracie. The Birdman was like Tammylan in Enid Blyton

I like it because there was a man that all the birds loved and he fed them. It was based in Cornwall and it was about an island that your cursed when the narwhals were killed there. I loved the whales and narwhals and the happy ending.

I read this book on a long car journey. It was interesting but the whales weren't mentioned until near the end!
