A book that I just finished reading is Stranded by Ben Mikaelsen. When Koby loses her foot in a bad accident, her mother becomes very protective.  Koby stays out late one night on her dinghy and she finds a weak mother whale tangled in a shrimp net. When she is set free she has a baby calf. Koby keeps visiting the whales and one day she finds them stranded on the sand flats. She stays with them all night until help comes. When her classmates learn what she has done, they begin to admire her.  A veterinarian comes to help with the whales and Koby makes a new friend as she and the vet work together to make the whales strong enough to be set back into the ocean. On top of everything Koby also has to deal with her parents constantly fighting. Will they divorce?  

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for a good book. I found it very interesting and intriguing.
