One White Dolphin

One White Dolphin

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 noseâ€”she simply couldnâ€™t stand to hear him say one more nasty thing about her missing mother, or her out-of-work fatherâ€¦or her. But itâ€™s more than a broken nose to Jakeâ€™s family: Itâ€™s fuel for the fire. Theyâ€™ve had it with Karaâ€™s family and their devotion to protecting marine life and saving the reef. Dredging the reef will mean fisherman can reel in more money. Thatâ€™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 â€œpoignant and satisfying story about acting for the greater goodâ€ (Publishers Weekly) taps into the radiance of nature and dives into the important, timely issue of environmental protection and ecology.
