I’m Saga. I like hanging out at the harbor. Sometimes I play music for the seals. It makes them swim up to me. Stop laughing. It’s true.

Saga lives on the Icelandic coast. Spirited, impudent, she introduces readers to her daily life in a port town near the fishing-net factory where her mother works. What she likes best is telling stories about her ancestors, who hunted whales, and her fascination for the mysterious creature. She really thought she saw one swimming towards her once. But when it came closer, it turned out not to be a whale at all…
Saga's story touches on profound concerns about climate change and the clash between tradition and progress.
