Synopsis

'The white dolphin is a sign that Mum's out there . . .'

When they first meet, Kara and Felix can't stand each other. But on discovering an injured dolphin calf on the beach they know they must work together to save it.

Now friends, they set out to find the truth behind the disappearance of Kara's mother, and to protect the nearby reef.

But powerful people don't want them to succeed. And with the odds stacked against them, how can Kara and Felix make their voices heard?

About this title

About the Author:

Gill Lewis spent much of her childhood in the garden where she ran a small zoo and a veterinary hospital for creepy-crawlies, mice, and birds. When she grew up she became a real vet and travelled from the Arctic to Africa in search of interesting animals and places. She worked in Cornwall for
several years and spent many hours of her spare time in the cold Atlantic, learning how to fall off a surf board. Gill now writes books for children. Her debut novel, Sky Hawk was published to much critical acclaim and has been translated into twenty languages. The publishers of Sky Hawk generously
sponsored a satellite-tagged osprey through the Highland Foundation for Wildlife, fulfilling Gill's dream that her writing could contribute directly to wildlife conservation. She lives in the depths of Somerset with her husband and three children and writes from a tree house in the company of
squirrels.

Review:

"One of my favourite books of the year, now in paperback. A beautiful, uplifting animal adventure from the author of Sky Hawk."

--The Bookseller, Fiona Noble
