This was a quick reading adventure with twins stranded on a desert island, a shark, a family of dolphins and orcas. There’s also some kind of war happening in the background but it’s more of a catalyst to the plot that gets them stranded and adds an overarching story to the series rather than an integral part of the plot—in this book anyway.
I was expecting them to turn into dolphins, but they just befriend them by feeding them fish.

I look forward to reading more in this series. Wolf girl will always top it for me but if you or your child like Anh Do books, this is good one to read.
