Summary | "A quiet child in a boisterous family, Emma Wen dreams of a world that is peaceful and silent. When she reads about the blue whale-with a heart so big her father could stand in it-she has an idea. She fashions a boat out of household objects and sails from her bedroom into the mouth of a whale, where she settles in happily. Emma has finally found her peace and quiet. That is until another child, Owen Tang, arrives inside the whale and is loud, noisy and 'everything she is running away from.' Emma and Owen's unlikely friendship blossoms inside the microcosm of the whale."-- |
