Look out for his other historical adventures including An Eagle in the Snow and Listen to the Moon.Praise for Why the Whales Came:'The Scilly Islands off the English coast provide the setting for this well-written historical novel . . . good readers will find this a memorable adventure, no less immediate for its setting in the past.'
