Elizabeth Laird's award-winning and beloved children's book, "Song of the Dolphin Boy," has been given a stunning new edition with a cover illustration by Shonagh Rae, an updated author letter, and additional content from the author. This moving adventure about the impact of plastic pollution on our seas is a must-read modern classic, with black and white illustrations by Peter Bailey. Finn has always been different, and in the tiny Scottish fishing village of Stromhead, he sticks out like a sore thumb. But his new friends are in danger of being injured by the rubbish that floats out into the water, and now a supermarket is going to release thousands of balloons that could drift out to sea and cause even more damage. Desperate to help the dolphins, Finn goes to the Lighthouse Crew, a group of kids who have always left Finn out. Will they be able to set aside their differences to save the dolphins? And what will Finn discover about his past along the way? This edition includes brilliant extra material, such as an author letter by Elizabeth Laird, extra content from the author, including reading group questions, and discussion notes.
