Books with title Dolphin

Why is twelve year old Lucy Parr able to stretch out with her mind and communicate with dolphins? She doesn't know, but her connection to Spirit, a dolphin who lives off the coast of Cornwall, is incredibly important to her. When she returns to Cornwall for the summer, she looks forward to long swims with Spirit and to spending time with her aunt Bethany, a local artist. But when she starts dreaming about another dolphin trapped in a lagoon, she embarks on an adventure with a local boy called Paul that takes her closer to finding out the truth about her own strange ability, what it means to be a 'Dolphin Child', and the fate of another girl like her almost two hundred years before. This is the second in the Dolphin Child trilogy and picks up Lucy's quest to come to terms with her own identity and the loss of her mother following 'The Girl Who Dreamt Of Dolphins'.

Set in 1968, before the passage of the Marine Mammal Act, Dolphin Sky is about a dyslexic girl who takes huge risks to befriend a pair of captive dolphins. On her 12th birthday, motherless Buddy Martin is entranced by some performing dolphins she sees at a squalid tourist trap near her home in Chokoloskee, Florida, an Everglades fishing village. Considered "dumb" because she can't read properly and constantly gets directions reversed, Buddy feels empathy for the animals her father says are "too dumb" to miss their lost freedom. Against the wishes of her father but abetted by her crippled and ailing grandfather, Buddy surreptitiously undertakes the 10-mile boat trip as often as she can to see the dolphins, one of whom, Annie, becomes her special friend. Meanwhile, while working on a science project, Buddy teams up with a visiting scientist who not only warns her of the health dangers the dolphins face but also takes her to Miami, where she is diagnosed as dyslexic. For Buddy, knowledge is power: as she learns to overcome her disability, she likewise stands up for herself against her classroom nemesis and her father to save the dolphins. "Believable characters, convincingly portrayed relationships, a deeply moving plot and a wealth of intimate details of Everglades life combine to make this novel a real winner." Ages 10-14. From a Starred review by Publisher's Weekly.

Bullied at school for her dyslexia and troubled by her mother's unexplained disappearance, Kara seeks sanctuary sailing the ocean's waves in her father's boat. Meanwhile, Felix resents his well-meaning parents for dragging him to live by the coast and misses his old friends back in London. On their first encounter, Kara and Felix take an immediate dislike to each other. But when they happen to discover a dolphin calf stranded on the beach they know they must work together to save it against all odds. Realizing they have more in common than they could ever have guessed, the two friends set out to find the truth behind the disappearance of Kara's marine biologist mother, and to protect the delicate reef in the bay of their home town from the destruction of commercial dredging. Their actions set in motion a dramatic chain of events that no one could have foreseen. And soon they must make an impossible choice. Risk their own lives or face losing everything . . .
