A mother dolphin and her albino calf are in peril in this
heart-pounding adventure from the author of the acclaimed ecological
novel Wild Wings.
Kara is not sorry she punched Jake in the nose--she simply couldn't
stand to hear him say one more nasty thing about her missing mother, or
her out-of-work father...or her. But it's more than a broken nose to
Jake's family: It's fuel for the fire. They've had it with Kara's family
and their devotion to protecting marine life and saving the reef.
Dredging the reef will mean fisherman can reel in more money. That's
what the town needs.
But what the town gets is an unexpected new kid, a Paralympics sailing
hopeful named Felix. When a baby albino dolphin caught in old fishing
netting washes ashore, Felix and Kara work with vets and specialists to
save her and reunite her with her mother, setting off a chain of events
that might just save the reef.
Written by a veterinarian and brimming with bravery and beauty, this
"poignant and satisfying story about acting for the greater good"
(Publishers Weekly) taps into the radiance of nature and dives into
the important, timely issue of environmental protection and ecology.
