One White Dolphin

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Raquel Aparicio. Kara finds an injured baby dolphin and nurses it back to health, believing that if the dolphin--and the over-dredged reef on which her fishing village relies--recovers, her missing marine biologist mother will return home. Kara's friend Felix helps her face reality, but she takes comfort in championing her mum's cause. Fully developed characters make for personal conflicts as compelling as the environmental one.
