Peggony-Po: A Whale of a Tale

By Andrea Davis Pinkney

Peggony-Po is no ordinary sailor boy. From the time he was in burlap booties, he could climb the main mast faster than you could say There she blows!' He can tie a knot to rival any of the crew and swim more swiftly than a dolphin. But the most unusual thing about Peggony-Po? He was carved from the piece of driftwood that saved his father's life after he tried to capture Cetus, the biggest, meanest whale of them all. Peggony-Po has vowed to seek revenge on Cetus. Set on a 19th whaling ship, this is a swashbuckling original tale by an award-winning team.'
