A global corporation is about to build the world's largest salt plant at Laguna San Ignacio, a huge salt-water bay off the Pacific Ocean and half-way down the Baja California peninsula. Most local residents are in favor of the project, but not Juanita, a nine-year-old girl who lives next to the water and in a desert-like stretch called La Laguna. She believes that the salt plant is going to get in the way of the gray whales that yearly visit the lagoon from the coast off Alaska.In an attempt to influence the cancellation of the saltworks project, Juanita participates in a letter-writing campaign begun by an old man named Don Julián. He opposes the construction of the salt plant but for different reasons. He feels certain that the project, if built, will forever damage the area's habitat.Although no information has yet to be officially confirmed about the proposed saltworks, Juanita's mind begins to get pounded by endless worries regarding the whales and the effect that such a project might have on them and the lagoon. As she continues to get hammered by ominous thoughts, she decides to do something about the matter and soon comes up with a plot to warn the whales about the salt plant. She also plans to explain to them what to do to stop the workers from accomplishing their duties.Juanita and the Whales is a novella for readers of all ages.
