This maritime marvel has already made waves, clinching the Edward Stanford Children's Travel Book of the Year 2023 and earning a spot on the BAMB Indie Book Awards for Children's Fiction 2023 shortlist.

The Lost Whale weaves an irresistible tale of a boy named Rio, reluctantly dispatched to his grandmother's Californian abode whilst his mother convalesces in hospital. Yearning for his mum's recovery and a swift return home, Rio's world is turned upside down when he embarks on a whale-watching expedition and encounters White Beak, a majestic leviathan of the deep. An instant connection sparks between boy and whale, rekindling a long-extinguished flame of hope in Rio's heart.

But when White Beak vanishes without a trace, Rio realises he may be the cetacean's only hope. Can he harness their extraordinary bond to locate and rescue his aquatic ally? This gripping adventure explores the power of friendship to transcend species and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.

Exquisitely illustrated throughout by the talented Levi Pinfold, The Lost Whale is a must-read for ocean enthusiasts aged 8 and above. Prepare to be swept away by this enchanting odyssey that will leave you pondering the profound connections between humans and the natural world.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
