The Magic Ice Floe

When the Magic Ice Floe suddenly stops in the middle of the sea, Percy is certain something has gone wrong. With mist gathering around them and Beacon Rock still far away, Percy and Bertie must pause, listen carefully and discover why their magical friend refuses to move. Then a lonely call reaches them from beneath the water. A young whale named Willa has become separated from her family and needs their help. Guided by distant bells, whale songs and the Floe’s soft glow, the friends set off through the mist on a journey filled with courage, kindness and discovery. Sometimes the way forward begins by stopping to listen.
