Klappentext
A gripping wartime adventure story for young readers The Dolphin Crossing (first published in 1967) marked the fiction debut of Jill Paton Walsh subsequently a celebrated author of detective stories and novels for adults.
The Dolphin Crossing is set in 1940 at the height of the Second World War and concerns two boys: John a boarding school boy and Pat an evacuee from a London slum. Together John and Pat make a daring plan to sail a boat across the English Channel to Dunkirk. Foolhardy as their plan may seem the boys are sure they must do something to help the stranded British soldiers.
A story of friendship and growth for two teen-aged boys... A comprehensive presentation of many points of view (the professional soldier the battle-scarred the wife and mother) combines with understanding of adolescent psychology in a well-paced evocation of the way it was. Kirkus Review
