Her so-called friends abandon her, leaving her alone and facing a situation that anyone would struggle to deal with, let alone an 8-year old girl.
As part of a school project Ella learns about whales. These fascinating creatures call out in the ocean for hours at a time searching for other whales - something Ella feels she can identify with. She wonders whether if makes a cry for help of her own her comatose mum will somehow hear it.
