"No one is better than Jacqueline Wilson at entering into the daily ups and downs of childhood, while being sympathetic but not sentimental." (Juliet Townsend Spectator)

"Jacquelin Wilson is a fantastic author whose books strongly inspire me. Many children will be able to relate to this book, so I truly recommend it to anyone from eight to 12-years-old. I could not put it down, it was a very enjoyable book to read. I really hope you like this book as much as I did." (Molly Leckerman Newham Recorder)

"Wilson maybe a little mawkish a times, but her grip on what little girls are made of is a sure thing." (The Independant on Sunday)

A tender and gentle story that will captivate readers of 8+ from bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson.
Ella's mum's 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. Maybe a whale song could reach Mum, wherever she is, and bring her back to Ella and baby Samson. Surely it's worth a try?
