"A well written young adult coming of age tragedy thats appeal transcends the teen audience and encompasses anyone that would enjoy a tale well told...this novel is a haunting tale of choices made and how the repercussions of those choices can tear a family apart. It is an enchanting and uplifting tale that combines the optimistic spirituality of native myth with the hard realities of modern existence. The characters and descriptive setting will enthrall you."

--Glenda York, Assistant Director, Russell County Public Library, Kentucky

--Ivana Hruba, author of A Decent Ransom

"Whale Song" is a poignant tale that asks difficult questions - ones that challenge us to look deeply into our own hearts...a very well written novel...Set on Canada's breathtaking Vancouver Island, the whales and other wildlife are as beautiful as the story itself. This is Ms Tardif's "heart book" - the book closest to her heart - and after reading it, it's easy to see why."

--Linda Mercier, an Amazon.com reviewer
