In the seventh book of the “Whale Sea” series, a laid-back sea otter named Drifter takes on a temp job at the bustling Whale Sea Post Office, managed by the ever-efficient Mr Octopus. As letters fly and friendships flourish, thoughts of home begin to stir. Caught between the comfort of his new life and distant memories of Rattatta Island, Drifter finds himself at a crossroads. A warm, witty tale about connection, homesickness, and growing into the place where you are.
