Singing Home the Whale by Mandy Hager
5.0
Will Jackson is staying at his uncle's place in the Marlborough Sounds, while his parents are away working at a mine in Australia. He doesn't want to be there, but he doesn't want to be at home in Wellington, either, after what happened.
A baby orca arrives in the bay. It's apparently a threat to the salmon farm nearby, and is a long way from it's own pod and family. Some in town want to kill the orca or drive it away. Will wants to protect it, and help it find its way home.
The story is told from two perspectives - Will, and the Orca he names Min. It's a lovely tale which I have no hesitation in recommending.
