A review by heymeghan
Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher

5.0

One of the best Young Adult coming-of-age novels I have read in a long time. The beauty and honesty of the story, the inspiration and humor woven throughout, the heart-wrenching but ultimately inevitable conclusion... You can't ask for more. The main character, who struggles with bigotry because of his mixed-racial background, is hilarious and poignant, even in his flaws. Chris Crutcher is a master.
