Barnes Children's Literature Festival

Rio has been sent to live with a grandmother he barely knows in California, while his mum is in hospital back home. His only joy is joining his new friend Marina on her dad's whale-watching trips. That is until an incredible encounter with White Beak, a gentle giant of the sea changes everything. But when White Beak goes missing, Rio sets out on a desperate quest to find his whale and somehow save his mum.

Can you imagine making friends with a grey whale? Are you passionate about protecting our planet? Prepare to be inspired by Hannah Gold’s unforgettable adventure novel The Lost Whale. Hannah's stories celebrate the love between children and nature and show that no one is too young or insignificant to make a difference. She’ll share her real-life whale watching experience which inspired her book and you can test your knowledge in her wild animals’ quiz too!
