Two journeys through a threatened ocean

The Little Lagoon provides a refuge for marine life, but the story extends beyond its sheltered waters. Kiwa faces the responsibilities of leading her dolphin pod after a loss, while Humphrey, a humpback whale separated from his family, travels through dangerous currents and fishing nets. His alliance with Orlando, an orca described as vengeful, brings the characters’ separate paths into a shared story of survival. The ocean setting links themes of family, leadership, friendship, and finding safety amid danger, with dolphins, whales, turtles, seals, and other sea creatures shaping the wider world of the book.

Book overview

In the heart of a vibrant ocean lies the Little Lagoon-a refuge where dolphins, whales, turtles, seals, and countless other sea creatures thrive together, safe from the dangers of the open sea. But when tragedy strikes and young Kiwa must take over as leader of her dolphin pod, she faces loss, uncertainty, and a world that suddenly feels much bigger and more frightening.

Meanwhile, far from home, a humpback whale named Humphrey is on his own perilous quest: to reunite with his lost family. As he navigates treacherous currents, evades deadly fishing nets, and forms an unlikely alliance with a vengeful orca named Orlando, Humphrey discovers the true power of friendship, hope, and resilience.

Through storm and silence, danger and discovery, the ocean's greatest survivors must work together to find safety and healing. When their paths finally cross, Kiwa, Humphrey, and Orlando learn that family can be found in the most unexpected places-and that even in the darkest waters, the promise of sanctuary and a new beginning awaits.
