Dolphin Song

Dolphin Song is by Lauren St. John. The sequel to The White Giraffe finds Martine heading out with her school chums on a field trip to see the Sardine Run. While on the trip seven children, including Martine and Ben, are swept overboard in a storm. Dolphins save the children and take them to a deserted island. They must learn to work together to survive and solve the mystery of beached dolphins. Once they discover the danger to the dolphins, can they save them? Will they themselves be rescued? Another charming tale from St. John; steeped in environmental political correctness, but charming nonetheless.

Ratings: 6th grade - 9 out of 10.
