Discover 10 whale mysteries, from the stranded humpback whale Timmy in the Baltic Sea to the depths of the world's oceans!

When the humpback whale Timmy strands in the shallow Baltic Sea, the kids Mika, Alex, and Kim are there right away. They witness the dramatic rescue firsthand. But afterward, many questions remain: Why did Timmy lose his way? What dangers do whales face in the Baltic Sea and beyond?

The three found the Fact-Checking Base and dig into nine more thrilling, true whale stories: from a grateful humpback whale in the Pacific, to the incredible true story of marine biologist Nan Hauser being rescued from a shark by a giant humpback, to sperm whales acting as a midwife team in the Caribbean, to a beluga whale with a mysterious past.

This interactive nonfiction book for kids ages 8 and up combines gripping stories with real research. At the Fact-Checking Base, Mika, Alex, and Kim get to the bottom of every mystery:

  • Alex's Fact Check: Biology, fascinating data, and impressive numbers about whales
  • Kim's Eco Check: Human impact on whales and oceans, climate change, and ocean conservation
  • Mika's Observations: Whale behavior and ways of life
  • Exciting hands-on assignments: drawing, guided internet research, your own investigations, and a final quiz for every case
