    About this audiobook

    1848, Alaska; a young Eskimo boy witnesses the birth of an ice whale, that he calls Siku. But when he guides whalers to a pod, all the whales are killed. For this, the boy receives a curse of banishment. Through the generations, this curse is handed down. Siku returns in reality and dreams, to haunt each descendant. The curse is finally broken when a daughter saves the whale, and he in turn saves her.

      Narrated by Christina Moore. Siku, a bowhead whale, outlives four generations of a Yupik Eskimo family that has vowed to protect him after a 19th-century ancestor inadvertently put a curse on the family by revealing a whaling ground to a Yankee whaler. The highlight of the audio version is the occasional whale sounds incorporated into the narrative which gives the story an added dimension. Ms George has always illuminated the power and wonder of nature for young readers. But I'm just not sure about the "spritual Indian" talk spoken by the Eskimo family's earliest generation.
