This book is about
This book is about a Northern bottle-nosed whale who swam from the Atlantic Ocean to the River Thames in London. He became dehydrated because there were no squids and plankton to feed on. The whale got weaker and eventually died.

The main characters are
The Northern bottle-nosed whale.

My favourite part of the book is
When the reporters are filming the whale.

I would also like to say
At my school I recently made a poster that said, ¨Put your litter in the bin, so that whales and dolphins won´t die¨.
