by Jean Little

After weeks at sea, Jody and her family have arrived at Hervey Bay, off the coast of Australia. There, Jody befriends a gorgeous pink-and-white dolphin named Dawn. Jody notices a neighborhood tourist operation isn't keeping the dolphins' interest in mind and, as a result, Dawn becomes ill. Will Jody be able to convince them to change their ways before it's too late?
