Stratená veľryba
Jedenásťročný Rio odchádza žiť do prímorského mestečka Ocean Bay ku svojej babičke. Jeho milovaná mama je v nemocnici a Rio má o ňu veľký strach. Babička sa ho snaží rozptýliť a venuje mu krabicu plnú pokladov z detstva jeho matky. Je v nej aj namaľovaný obrázok obrovskej veľryby menom Biela škvrna.
Riova nová kamarátka Marina, ktorej otec vlastní loď na pozorovanie veľrýb, spoznáva majestátne zviera a pozýva Ria na spoločnú plavbu za veľrybou. Na šírom oceáne prežívajú nezabudnuteľné chvíle a z ničoho nič sa pred nimi vynára aj Biela škvrna – jemný obor morí! Keď sa Rio zahľadí do očí kráľovnej hlbín, má pocit, že mu je veľryba veľmi blízka, že jej rozumie... Je to tým, že ju pozná z matkinej kresby, alebo ho k zvieraťu púta aj niečo iné? No Riovo šťastie rýchlo mizne spolu s veľrybou – Biela škvrna sa stratila! Vzácny živočích je na svojej migračnej ceste v ohrození života a Rio je jediný, kto ho môže nájsť...
Ponorte sa do príbehu takého mocného a vyrážajúceho dych ako samotný oceán. Autorka úspešnej knihy Posledný medveď ponúka nový dobrodružný príbeh o magickom priateľstve medzi chlapcom a majestátnou veľrybou a o pute, ktoré ich oboch spojí a oslobodí zároveň.
Aj za pomoci kresieb oceneného ilustrátora Leviho Pinfolda kniha prístupnou formou poukazuje na ekologické problémy, ktorým čelí celý podmorský svet. Je určená čitateľom od 8 rokov.
