This is an action/adventure story about an undersized baby Beluga Whale named Chuga. It begins with Chuga, and his Mama, on his first migratory journey to their annual gathering place, the Black Pebbled Beach. There they will meet up with family and friends, and hundreds of other Belugas. Once there, Chuga makes new friends, faces the challenge of a bully, and finds himself trapped in a life or death situation. The story includes encounters with age-old and dangerous foes in the form of the Black Beasts (Orcas, or Killer Whales), the White Beasts (Polar Bears), people, and each other. With new friends, unexpected curiosities, nature's unyielding certainties, and deadly encounters, we race along to a dramatic and heartwarming conclusion. Full of action and danger, excitement and triumph, it tackles some of the contemporary issues facing our youth today, and shows how our decisions can have a lasting effect on those around us. Though it is intended for a younger audience (middle readers age 7 to 14), parents can delight in sharing this story with their children, and be able to discuss the issues presented.
