Publisher Description
A sixty-ton humpback whale lies stranded, gasping for breath, on the sands of Cape Cod… and there’s just one girl in the world who knows who he is. When Jessaloup is transformed into a boy, Isabel (now fourteen) has to teach him to walk, talk, and act human, so that together they can raise the alarm about a terrible natural disaster that’s threatening the East Coast. With the calamity’s deadline drawing near, the two teens must overcome skepticism, jealousies, misunderstandings, and even bad music, if they are to Save the Humans.
Besides providing a glimpse into the lives and habits of whales, this long-awaited follow-up to ISABEL OF THE WHALES clears up the mystery of Isabel’s origins, while exploring teenage love and celebrating the family ties that bind all species.

Jessaloup’s Song
Isabel of the Whales was my favorite book growing up. In elementary school, it was the book that made me want to keep reading (and now I’m an undergrad in creative writing). It holds a profound amount of nostalgia for me, and this book does an excellent job of following up on that and delivering the same emotional beats I felt before. If ever there are any more of these books, I will gobble them up no questions asked.
