Saving Finnegan

One morning Finola wakes early to find an amazing thing has happened overnight - a whale has been stranded on the beach below her house.
Soon she is at the forefront of efforts to save the whale. But things aren't as simple as would like, and when the small island community is divided over what course of action to take, Finola finds herself engaged in a battle in which she has some unlikely friends and foes.
Interwoven with the important theme of death, this is a powerful and hugely enjoyable novel by Smarties Gold Medal winning author Sally Grindley.
