Shortlisted for CILIP Carnegie Medal 2021 | Longlisted for the UKLA Book Awards 2021
When a dolphin takes up residence in Ross Bay, Emer and her best friend, Fee, feel like they have an instant connection with it. Then Dog Cullen and his sidekick, Kit, turn up, and the four friends begin to sneak out at midnight to go down to the beach, daring each other to swim closer and closer to the creature…Who cares if a neighbouring gang is raging about the fortune ‘dolphin fever’ brings to Emer’s small village? Emer has never felt so alive. The summer days get longer and hotter. Something wild and dangerous simmers in the air. Love feels fierce, old hatreds fester, and suddenly everything feels worth fighting for.
