Wrestled between the earth above ground and the water below, she just wants to blend in at her new “land” school, but that’s a little hard to do when your family is oh-so-whacky, you regularly go on adventures across the seven seas, and you live in a big blue whale named Blue! The Whale Family is an adventure/comedy/fantasy series for 6-11’s.
