Peg and the Whale - Hardcover

Peg was born upon the bright blue sea.

A big, strapping lass, she isn't one to do things in half measures. Anything she turns her hand to, she's good at. But she wants more than that. She wants big, she wants better, she wants best. She wants to be the world's best fisherman....

Now that Peg's pushing seven, she figures it's high time she caught herself a whale. So she packs up her fishing rod and signs on with the whaling ship Viper. Peg is ready to catch a whale. But is the whale ready for Peg?

In this humorous nautical tall tale, Kenneth Oppel and Terry Widener have created a feisty, independent child hero for the ages.

Kenneth Oppel is the award-winning author of a number of picture books and novels, including Sunwing and Silverwing, the latter of which was voted Book of the Year for Children by the Canadian Library Association. He lives in Toronto with his wife and two children.
