Maxine Kearney loves animals. Volunteering at Wild Paws ad Claws Clinic and Rehabilitation Centre with her best friend Sarah, and helping rescue wild animals in need, is like a dream come true. When Max's grandmother invites Max and Sarah on a trip to see real beluga whales, they can't believe how lucky they are. They get to travel on a research boat and meet the St. Lawrence River belugas face-to-smiling-face.
