Product description
Ella’s mum is in a deep coma, having just had a new baby. That means Ella has to live with Jack, her hopeless stepfather, and cope with her tiny newborn brother, as well as worrying about Mum. The only thing that’s going right is her school project. It’s all about whales and how they sing out to each other to attract a mate – sometimes for hours. Maybe a whale song could reach Mum, wherever she is, and bring her back to Ella and baby Samson. Surely it’s worth a try?

on 9 March 2014This is such a sad book but at the same time is so vivid. The way it is written makes you feel as if your right there with Ella. I don’t know how Jacqueline Wilson does it but I’d love to find out! I adore it.

on 31 December 2013it is really sad when she thinks she has no one apart from her mum but her mum wont wake up. it was lovely when she started to love her baby brother. it is a really touching book because some other kids have the same problem when their parents wont wake up to.

on 11 December 2013This book is great. But also very sad, when Ella’s mum has a baby and then is in a coma. Ella desperately worries about her. Poor old Ella is also having to cope with living with her mums new boyfriend Jack, who she doesn’t like. Will Ella’s mum come out of her coma or will this become a tragedy never to forget. I would probably recommend this to 10+ year olds.

on 15 July 2013The Longest Whale Song is a pretty good book but some of the parts, I got a little bored at. It isn’t one of my favourite books but it’s still really good.

on 27 June 2013This book is excellent. I liked it because it relates to real life and all the twists and turn in our life. It really makes you think what would you do if you were in the same situation as Ella.
I would give a like or 4 stars to this book. It was sad because Ella’s mum was in a coma.
This book is definitely thumbs up!!

on 9 March 2013Jacqueline Wilson is THE author to go to when looking for a good book for young girls although to be honest her old stuff is a lot more interesting and meaning compared to the new.

xxChocolateBoxGirlxx
on 5 March 2013This is one of the first books that I`ve read by Jacqueline Wilson and I couldn`t put it down.Ella`s mum is pregnant but then unfortunately falls into a coma(when a person goes to sleep for a long long time).So Ella has to stay with her step dad Jack who she does`nt like at first and Ella has to look after the new baby. At school Ella is doing a project about whales and decides to do a whales and she is surprised and fascinated by the whales` songs.So while her mum is in the hospital Ella has and idea. She brings a recording of the longest whale song, maybe this will wake her mother… If you want to know what happens you have to read the book first :D

Emster123
on 10 January 2013I love The Longest Whale song, its defiantly not like any other jw books where the characters are very loud and dramatic like Tracy Beaker. This book is sad and heart touching which really draws you, as the reader, into the story and put yourself in ella’s shoes and what its like to be her. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a sad story.

on 25 August 2012Okay, when I was younger 9 or 10 I loved Jacqueline Wilson but I’m now 11 and I look back on them being very sad and not suitable for children with some very grown up words in some of her books. now on the book I thought it was quite sad and in my opinion nobody should be reading her books. Sorry to any of her fans
