Взрослые говорят, что иногда страшное случается без всякой причины. Но двенадцатилетняя Сузи не верит, что её лучшая подруга могла просто утонуть, ведь она так хорошо плавала! Нет, её наверняка погубила редкая и опасная медуза. Шаг за шагом, как настоящий исследователь, Сузи ищет подтверждение своей гипотезы, а заодно постигает жизнь, смерть, чудеса Вселенной… Она взрослеет.

When seventeen-year-old Ishmael wakes up from stasis aboard the Pequod, he is amazed by how different this faraway planet is from the dirty, dying, Shroud-covered Earth he left behind. But Ishmael isn’t there to marvel at the fresh air, sunshine, and endless blue ocean. He’s there to work, risking his life to hunt down great ocean-dwelling beasts to harvest and send back to the resource-depleted Earth—and getting paid handsomely in exchange. Only it isn’t a life of luxury that Ishmael dreams of; it’s a way to get his foster parents safely off the crumbling Earth before it’s too late.
But though easy prey abounds, time and again the chase boat crews are ordered to ignore it in order to pursue an elusive monster—a beast so enormous and deadly that few who’ve seen it have lived to tell the tale. One who has is the ship’s captain, Ahab. It’s rumored that he lost his leg to the beast years ago and that he’s now consumed by revenge. But is there more to Captain Ahab’s obsession with the beast than a desire for vengeance?
Master storyteller Todd Strasser breathes new life into a great American classic—and takes readers on an epic adventure they won’t soon forget.

Tender and heartrending, Jane Yolen’s clear-eyed tale of a child’s effort to rescue a beached whale evokes a fierce love of wildlife and a universal sense of loss.
Sally and her brothers are walking home from school along the dunes in their Maine town when they come upon an enormous whale. He’s stranded on the beach. Her brother runs for help, and many people rally to respond, but the tide is going out quickly and the whale is just so big. Still, Sally is able to sit near the whale’s massive eye and tell him he’s beautiful and strong, and that she will miss him no matter what happens. Master storyteller Jane Yolen and illustrator Melanie Cataldo have created an authentic portrait of vulnerability that is at once spare, moving, and honest.
