Description
This beautiful coming-of-age novel by Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick reimagines an old tale as a stunning YA story. In 1976, Donegal, Ireland, a dolphin takes up residence in Carrig Cove, bringing fame and fortune to the small village.
As Emer and her best friend Fee form a connection with the dolphin, they begin sneaking out at midnight to visit it, accompanied by Dog Cullen and his sidekick Kit. The summer days grow longer and hotter, and tensions rise amongst their neighbours across the bay.
The story is a powerful exploration of love, old hatreds, and the intensity of growing up. With its modern magic infused into an ancient legend, this novel is an instant classic that will appeal to readers with its beauty and compelling narrative.
