The fascinating and heartbreaking account of the first publicly exhibited captive killer whale — a story that forever changed the way we see orcas and sparked the movement to save them. Killer whales had always been seen as bloodthirsty sea monsters. That all changed when a young killer whale was captured off the west coast of North America and displayed to the public in 1964. Moby Doll — as the whale became known — was an instant celebrity, drawing 20,000 visitors on the one and only day he was exhibited. He died within a few months, but his famous gentleness sparked a worldwide crusade that transformed how people understood and appreciated orcas. Because of Moby Doll, we stopped fearing “killers” and grew to love and respect “orcas.” Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute

Reader ALERT!! Orca Boy is suitable for all ages. And stars a killer whale, a dog, and a teenage whiz kid martial arts champion. Orcas are the undisputed top predators on earth, and rulers of the ocean, and yet they have managed to create a soft spot endearing them to humans, their only real enemy. Reading Orca Boy will make you a believer that one compassionate young person doing what he knows is right, can make a difference. Orca Boy begins when a young orca (Pepper) gets tangled in a fishing net. Her mother brings her to Whale Cove - the one place a human helped her many years earlier. Josh, our 17-year-old hero befriends Pepper and saves her life, but in so doing, he runs afoul of federal law. Misguided government agents swarm in to arrest Josh and trap Pepper. On the run in a kayak, and hiding his playful orca friend, he doesn't have much more than his i-phone and a near genius wit. Josh rallies the local "Save the Whales" group to mount protests at the Fish and Game office locally and in Seattle drawing national attention and media scrutiny to the little island town of Friday Harbor, WA. He also uncovers corruption and an orca poaching operation that targets him for death. His kayak is discovered run down and destroyed five miles offshore, the Coast Guard mounts a search to no avail, and the police discover one of the Fish and Game boats has suspicious scratches and paint marks. Josh is not alone, he has help from Sammie, the kayaker sailing instructor girl next door, and her Golden Lab that become Pepper's unlikely favorite playmate. San Juan County Sheriff, Detective Danny O'Brien follows the trail of forensic evidence tracking those responsible, but Josh has already secretly hacked bank computers following the money trail to a memory care facility where a past orca researcher resides.
