Told from below the surface

Told from the point of view of orcas, humpback whales, and the other creatures of the open ocean, the Black Fin series follows the bonds of pod and family, survival against predators and the elements, an unlikely friendship between species — and the growing threat that comes not from below the surface, but from above it.
