Dolphin Boy - Softcover

Long ago, in the small fishing village where Jim lived, times were hard. There were too few fish for anyone to make a living, and the fishermen’s boats lay peeling in the sun. But when Jim finds a dolphin on the beach, and all the villagers help return it to the sea, Jim doesn’t only make a wonderful new friend—he helps save the village.
