Can dreams come true? Can they predict the future? Can dreams transport us back to past lives? Michael never thought much about dreams while he was growing up in Port Washington, a small town on Long Island Sound in New York. When his family moves to Jerusalem to be near his elderly grandfather, Michael is surprised to find out how much they have in common. There is a special bond between grandson and grandfather. Michael is looking forward to getting to know his grandfather more and more. Michael’s parents, however, worry that he spends too much time with the elderly man and not enough time with friends his own age. Michael doesn’t care about meeting kids. He is fascinated by the antiques in his grandfather’s house. As Michael shares his love of old things with his grandpa, his grandpa shares his special interest in dreams with Michael. Together they discover that they have the power to be in each other’s dreams. Grandpa realizes that Michael has “the gift,” and that’s when Grandpa begins to teach Michael how to make other people’s dreams more pleasant. Michael gladly becomes Grandpa’s apprentice. Together they have some amazing experiences through their synchronized dreams, where time and space become warped. The Song of Whales takes you on a fantastic trip, where the lines of reality and dreams are blurred. This story will continue to stay in your mind long after you’ve closed the book.
