Completely Captivated

From the first moment I laid eyes on the cover I was captivated. Seeing the girl under water made me want to read what was inside...The book is one that I read in one day it is spellbinding. Young Sarah deals with loss,prejudices,love,all in a very short period in her young life. She overcomes all odds and turns prejudice into lasting friendships. This is a must read.

It Was SUPER

Impossible to put down, Whale Song is a book that goes through you while you go through it. Life seen through the eyes of young Sarah Richardson is by turn tragic and magical as she moves to a new home on Vancouver Island. This book drew me in so much that I wanted to move into the house with this family and be part of their story.
The raw life that Sarah experiences there is exquisitely influenced by the sanity of the Nootka culture, the unpredictability of the ocean and the ebb and flow of being human. Thanks for this book Cheryl. I can't wait for my daughter to read it.

Ok... I am generally not one to read this type of novel, but once in awhile, I like to pick this type of novel up. So I picked up Whale Song by Cheryl Tardif. It was a VERRRRY late night, because I could NOT put the book down! Fantastic book! I would defenitely recommend this book!

Happy reading!

Excellent first read from Cheryl Kaye Tardif

I picked this book up on a whim, and could not put it down.

Ms. Kaye-Tardif has a wonderfully unique writing style that I enjoyed very much, and I am looking forward to reading more novels by her.

Whale Song is the story of Sarah Richardson, who at age 11, moves to Canada from Wyoming in the summer of 1977. She is befriended by a Native American girl and her Grandmother, and they take Sarah into their family and treat her as their own.

Sarah's father, Jack, worked for a company studying marine biology and Sarah often went out on the Ocean with him listening to the sounds of Killer Whales, and seeing whales close up.

I love this book so much, but know that I can't say much else about it without giving away main events in the novel. If you're looking for an easy, thought provoking read, I suggest you pick up Whale Song.

Touched my heart...

I am thrilled to be introduced to Whale Song by Cheryl Kaye Tardif. This talented author has written a moving tale that touched my heart. From the opening page of the prologue, I was captivated.

Eleven year old Sarah Richardson has her world uprooted when her parents move from a ranch in Wyoming to Vancouver Island, Canada. Her father is a biology professor who has taken a job studying killer whales. Things are difficult for Sarah at first, but she is fortunate to meet Goldie Dixon, a neighbor of the same age who happens to be a Nootka Indian. Goldie's older brother drowned and her Indian tradition believes that he has come back as a whale and speaks to her. As Sarah faces a family tragedy, Goldie and her wise grandmother, Nana, will help Sarah navigate the rough road that lies ahead.

Whale Song is a powerfully moving story that had me in tears more than once (and I'm not usually an emotional reader). It's a tale of love and sacrifice, friendship and survival, and doing what is best for those you love--despite the cost. But what makes Whale Song sing is Tardif's beautiful writing. I picked it up one afternoon and couldn't put it down until I was finished.

Cheryl Kaye Tardif has written two other books, Divine Intervention and The River. I have definitely added them to my reading list.
