The powerful tale of a girl who feels broken, and the dolphin who makes her whole. A story of friendship, hope and self-discovery, perfect for readers aged 9+, and beautifully illustrated in black and white by George Ermos. Ró finds school impossible. She knows people think she's shy - and stupid. But when she goes to the bay each afternoon to watch the dolphin leap through the water, she finds the strength to keep going. Then the dolphin disappears, and everything starts falling apart. Can Ró overcome her fears to find him? I watch each rise and dip of wave know Sunny must be out there somewhere wonder if he's missing me. I remember that moment when I touched his skin and know that finding him is the only thing that can make the aching stop make me feel not broken.

I really liked this book because it was about a girl who was dyslexic and was very good at drawing and painting called Ró. She finds school quite hard because she is dyslexic and is always blaming herself for not making the jumbling letters go straight. But then a substitute teacher called Mrs C comes to teach the children at her school and she is kind to everybody and realises Ró has dyslexia. Mrs C tells there is an art competition and everyone starts doing their artwork, Ró thinks she is going to paint Sunny, the dolphin. The places were announced Mya (the smartest girl in the class) comes 2nd and the winner is announced, it was Ró, but Ró didn’t know what to say for her speech and she just ran away.
