A Galaxy of Whales is a perfect summer read about whale watching and friendship, both lost and found, from the author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.

When Fern hears about a photo contest with a big cash award, she decides she'll enter and win! After all, photography is her passion, an interest she shared with her dad, who has recently died. She knows she can take a prize-worthy photo of a whale during one of the whale-watching tours her mum runs.

But her neighbour (and nemesis), Jasper, is also planning to enter the contest. It's another frustration for Fern while she's already coping with the worry that her best friend, Ivy, might not want to spend time with her anymore. She's hoping to use the prize money to buy something that will attract Ivy's interest.

This summer story has everything: the trials and pleasures of friendship, a rousing feud and a touch of adventure, a beautiful exploration of healing after grief, a very moving finale, and a whole lot of whale-watching fascination.
