Description
Thirteen-year-old Martin and his younger brother Charlie embark on an extraordinary 421-mile journey from Preston to Cornwall. By train, bus, and taxi, they aim to reach their destination in the end, hoping to catch a glimpse of the dolphin that regularly visits the harbour. However, this trip is not just about seeing wildlife - it's also about overcoming challenges and surprises along the way. Martin adores his brother Charlie, but he's not like ordinary kids. Born prematurely, Charlie defies expectations and keeps Martin on his toes, especially during their current adventure. As they travel, Martin struggles to balance being a good big brother with the uncertainty of what lies ahead in Cornwall. This heartwarming and humorous novel is an unforgettable tale that explores the complexities of sibling relationships and the power of family bonds.
