I read this when I was in fourth grade!

It made no sense to me. The story was literally all over the map. Twas funny, however. A decent read.

This book was in my school library. And was also required reading. It was surprisingly good.

This is totally unrealistic, the whales would be crushed under their own weight, especially with all of their weight being put on such a tiny surface area.

The stilts go through the body and connect directly onto load bearing points on their internal skeleton. Also they're made of magic.
