Author Beth Hautala at
Hallett Library Feb. 19
Talia McQuinn is much
too old to believe in magic,
yet she keeps a jar of wishes
under her bed. When her
whale-researcher father drags
Tal to the arctic for the summer following her mother's
death, she brings the jar
along.
During her stay, McQuinn
learns the ancient Inuit legend
of the narwhal whale—the
unicorn of the sea—and she
forms a plan to make the
biggest wish of her life. When
the entire population of
whales in the Hudson Bay
mysteriously disappears, and
an accident endangers the life
of her new friend, McQuinn
must confront the truth: no
wish on earth can grant
escape from her heartache, or
bring her mother back.
But
sometimes,
the
release of one wish makes
way for the granting of another.

Lakes area are in for a treat at
