Dolphin Sunrise

by Elizabeth Webster

Day after day, fifteen-year-old Matthew came down to the beach, and every day the dolphin he called Flite was waiting for him, ready to play with carefree abandon. Numb with shock since the fire that had killed his mother and left him orphaned and badly injured, Matthew felt the impact of this friendly creature like a healing balm. He comes to understand the lesson that Flite is teaching to glory in the moment and not allow his life to be blighted by sadness.

[Ambarish Ramasubramanian · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good book.

[Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

Brutally sad start of the story (3 chapters or so) then it becomes more of a YA Coming of Age story. The pacing comes off sporadic as I assume the author is trying to find ways to tie-in information about dolphins to the plot. The character development and description of the different settings is excellent. Ending was well-done

I read this book like 10 years ago, when i was in my teens, and i still cant forget this book, it really touched me with its story and the beauty in it! Love it!

There is nothing spectacular about this book. It is a nice read about a boy who is leading a tough life, his relationship with other adults and a dolphin.
