企鹅经典精装本

八岁的卡胡渴望得到曾祖父的爱与关注。但他专注于履行职责，担任新西兰东海岸旺加拉毛利部落的酋长。该部落自称是传奇“鲸骑士”的后裔。自鲸骑士以来，每一代酋长都会由男性继承。

但现在没有男性继承人，只有卡胡一人。她本应是继承头衔的下一任继承人，但她的曾祖父被传统蒙蔽了双眼，认为女孩毫无用处。卡胡不会被忽视。

在她的奋斗中，她拥有一位独特的盟友：鲸骑士本人，她从鲸骑士那里继承了与鲸鱼交流的能力。一旦这项神圣的天赋得以揭示，卡胡或许能够重建族人的祖先联系，赢得曾祖父的关注，并带领她的部落走向崭新的未来。

A Penguin Classic Hardcover

Eight-year-old Kahu craves her great-grandfather's love and attention. But he is focused on his duties as chief of a Maori tribe in Whangara, on the east coast of New Zealand a tribe that claims descent from the legendary ?whale rider.? In every generation since the whale rider, a male has inherited the title of chief.

But now there is no male heir there's only Kahu. She should be the next in line for the title, but her great-grandfather is blinded by tradition and sees no use for a girl. Kahu will not be ignored.

And in her struggle, she has a unique ally: the whale rider himself, from whom she has inherited the ability to communicate with whales. Once that sacred gift is revealed, Kahu may be able to reestablish her people's ancestral connections, earn her great-grandfather's attention, and lead her tribe to a bold new future.
