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. <p/>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. <p/>Written by a veterinarian and brimming with bravery and beauty, this "poignant and satisfying story about acting for the greater good" <i>(Publishers Weekly</i>) taps into the radiance of nature and dives into the important, timely issue of environmental protection and ecology.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "This life-affirming novel gets its depth from well-drawn, supportive characters such as Kara's father, her cousin Daisy, and Felix, a new boy who has cerebral palsy. But the satisfying climax and believable ending come about because of Kara's indomitable and generous spirit."--Shelf Awareness, starred review<br><br>"A satisfying stranded-dolphin rehabilitation and an edge-of-your-seat sailboat rescue....
