The Boy Who Met a Whale by Nizrana Farook

5.0

This book. There are so many awesome things here. The adventure. Friendship. Siblings. A boy still grieving over his dad's death. Scary pirates. It all works together to create an amazing story that's so beautifully written.

The only part I wish was different is that I wish there had been more scenes with Maalu the whale. She plays an important role, but I guess I wanted more opportunity for Zheng, Shifa, and Razi to spend time with her.

I still enjoyed reading the story so much, and I loved a lot of things about it. The way they worked together to decode the treasure map. All their plans to outsmart the men chasing them. The way the three of them bonded and became close friends.

I really want to read more by Nizrana Farook, so I can't wait to check out her other book.

Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
