Bookroo's summary
In a coastal haven, the Lighthouse Family's peaceful life is disrupted by the cries of Sebastian, a lost baby beluga whale. Whistler and Lila, guided by the wise yet grumpy cormorant Huck, embark on a heartwarming quest to reunite Sebastian with his mother. As they navigate the challenges of the sea, the family discovers the true meaning of love and unity. Will they succeed in bringing the lost whale home? Dive into this enchanting tale of courage and compassion, where the bonds of family extend beyond species and the call of the ocean leads to unexpected adventures.
From the publisher
Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant brings the peaceful sounds, sights, and characters of the coast vividly to life in the second book of the Lighthouse Family series, in which the family helps reunite a baby beluga whale with its mother. Pandora, Seabold, Whistler, Lila, and Tiny have all been enjoying the love and comfort that being a family brings. It is a comfort they are unexpectedly reminded of when Whistler and Lila hear the cries of a lonely baby beluga whale named Sebastian. When they learn that he has lost his mama, the Lighthouse Family, with the help of a cranky but noble old cormorant named Huck, does all it can to bring Sebastian and his mother together again.
