Each year I pick one of the books I've read to give as a gift to my good friends, teachers, mail man, etc. In the past I have chosen The Secret Lives of Bees, The Red Tent, The Summer Guest (Justin Cronin), and many others. I have chosen Grayson by Lynne Cox for it's universal appeal.
This book is in a category by itself because you can actually share it with your children and your family. It is the story of a young girl (17) who is swimming off the coast of Southern California and sees a baby grey whale. She then tries to help the whale find it's mother. The girl realizes that the whale is following her and if she swims to shore the young whale will die. What does she do?
I think anyone from age 5-100 will love this story. If you love the ocean, the beach, or whales you will enjoy it even more. Written in a clear voice that pulls the reader in right away. One other plus is it is very short and can be read in one day!
If you need to give a gift this holiday season this is the one I would highly recommend from an avid reader!
