    About this series

    Lucy longs to keep her special link with dolphins, and hates her Dad for telling her that she will grow out of it and lose her gift. Yet despite her efforts it looks like her father will be right. A painful accident gives her what may be one last glimpse of that world beneath the waves and the chance chance to spend time with Spirit. Yet there are clues to her mother Megan's own link with dolphins that sends her on a quest to discovery the real reason for Megan's death and what links them both to a Victorian girl called Mary. The answer lies in the Trinity Caves, but will she ever find them before the stars align at Christmas?

    This is the exciting conclusion to the Dolphin Child trilogy. 'The Girl Who Dreamt of Dolphins' saw Lucy discover her gift, and 'Dolphin Child' saw Lucy come closer to Spirit, before realising that her gift seemed set to fade away. 'Midnight Dolphin' sees Lucy struggle to find her own destiny, even as those around try to protect her from it.

      What if you could speak to a dolphin? Twelve year old Lucy Parr has dreamt of dolphins all her life. One evening she overhears her Aunt Bethany telling her Dad that Lucy has a special gift. What is it and why was her dad so opposed to her love of the dolphins and the sea? Could it be something to do with her mother? Not long after Lucy is amazed to discover that the dolphins she dreams about are real, and that she can reach out with her mind and actually speak to a young dolphin called Spirit. Longing to escape her father’s strict but absent upbringing and to find out who she really is, Lucy decides to run away to visit Bethany in Cornwall. When Spirit’s pod off the Cornish coast learn of his special connection with Lucy, the leader of the pod called Storm forbids him from taking his coming-of-age swim. Spirit is determined to prove himself though and escapes anyway to take this right of passage and earn the respect of the pod. When Spirit is disorientated by a jet-ski rider, he becomes trapped in the coils of a discarded steel rope. Can Lucy find a way to save Spirit before it was too late? 'The Girl Who Dreamt of Dolphins' is the first part of the 'Dolphin Child' trilogy. - Children’s literature. Target readership: Age 11 plus - Words: 76,905.

    Hello, my name is James Carmody. I am the author of 'The Girl Who Dreamt of Dolphins', 'Dolphin-Child' and 'Midnight Dolphin'. All three books form the Dolphin-Child Trilogy about a girl called Lucy Parr and the special ability she has to communicate with a dolphin called Spirit. I was born in 1967 and so am in my late forties . I live in London with my wife and daughter. I was inspired to write about dolphins when we visited Zanzibar (off the coast of Tanzania) in the summer of 2010. We went on a dolphin watching trip one day from a small village down the coast from Stone Town. I thought that this would be an amazing experience in which we swam with dolphins who would come up to us and greet us. Instead there were any number of tourist boats pursuing a pod of dolphins. Every time dolphins would surface, the boats would all buzz over to them them and all the tourists would pile into the water to be able to say that they had swum with dolphins. I felt rather uncomfortable about the whole experience and felt that we were harassing the dolphins more than communing with them. Afterwards I thought, 'What if it really were possible to communicate with dolphins?' I have also put up a factual website about dolphins called 'Dolphins for Kids'. Do pay it a visit! http://www.dolphins-for-kids.com
