“The mysteries of this most fantastic of beasts shown in an epic tale... Dreamlike illustrations by Jo Weaver create the beauty and vastness of the artic landscape.” The English Association judges panel
This is a visually stunning book following the journey of a pod of Narwhals from the south to the frozen Arctic. […] A book that would grace any school library or book corner for browsing, but also a book that would link very well with topics on the theme of sustainability, conservation and adaptation of species, particularly for the 7+ age group, though younger readers will find it absorbing just by following the illustrations and bold narrative. […] A beautiful compelling book for all ages. -- Ros * JustImagine *
