Bookroo's summary

Koby, feeling lost after a life-altering accident, finds solace on the ocean. When she rescues two dying pilot whales, her world shifts. As she aids their recovery, Koby befriends a veterinarian and earns her peers' respect. But the true journey is within, as she uncovers her own resilience and bravery. Can Koby navigate the turbulent waters of her life and emerge stronger?

From the publisher

Koby’s whole life changed after the accident four years ago. Between the smothering concern of her separated parents and the awkward glances from the kids at school, Koby only feels at home when she is on the ocean in her dinghy. That all changes when she rescues two dying pilot whales. Day after day, she visits the whales as they begin their long road to recovery. She finds a new friend in Dr. Tracy Michaels, a veterinarian, and gains the admiration of her classmates. But most importantly, Koby starts to recognize her own strength and courage.
