Overview
When a dolphin is stranded and trapped in a creek, it's up to a young girl to save the dolphin and get her back to sea -- before a looming hurricane strikes! When twelve-year-old Dany goes out to sea with her fisherman dad, she expects it to be a normal fishing trip. After all, she's helped her dad on the boat loads of times, and this is meant to be a quick trip. But when a sea squall forms out of nowhere, Dany is suddenly knocked overboard, and even her life vest isn't enough to protect her. That's when Dany spots something in the water -- a gray doral fin heading straight for her! Mercifully, a young bottlenose dolphin has come to her rescue. As the dolphin carries Dany to shore, Dany feels a sense of comfort wash over her, as if the dolphin is telling her everything will be alright . . . until the dolphin finds itself stuck too far inland in a creek! To make matters worse, the weather is getting harsher, and a hurricane is on its way. Now it's up to Dany to return the dolphin's favor and get her back to sea. Will Dany be able to save her new friend before it's too late?

A sweet story about finding your role in the pack."" --Kirkus Reviews Praise for My Otter Half ""Readers will delight in the otter and puppy antics that unfold.

Two cute animals teaming up means double the fun in this romping adventure."" --Kirkus Reviews Praise for Waddle I Do without You?

Complex, timely, and deeply moving."" --Kirkus Reviews
