Song of the Dolphin Boy

I like this book but it was sad at a few bits.It was interesting and a good help for teaching kids about how we should protect our planet from harm.i would recommend it

I have read this loads of times and every time it's been even better. I love it. It shows how we can help end sea pollution or at least why to stop using plastic. If you love dolphin you will probably love this book.

What a great storyline! A book that reinforces how small people can make a big difference. A book where the author has created a synergy between magic and science. I'll be recommending this to all the eco-warriors in our classroom!

I recently met the author of this book and bought this book and I highly enjoyed it! It really raises awareness to stop throwing away plastic as well!

This book is about children who befriend a dolphin and how he helps save the environment and looking after the oceans.

It felt like two stories that have been merged together. The first story when Finn wasn't friends with the Lighthouse Crew and the other when he was. I love how it mentions about the dolphins and how they are being effected. I felt like I was in the book near and at the end. I would recommend it to everyone because it shows the love and care that dolphins - and humans - need.

This is a book about the relationship between a boy and his father, friendship and ‘fitting in’. It’s also about pollution of the sea and how we all can do something to help- even children

I thought this book was quite repetitive. I liked it because of 5 children who could change something that grownups could not. It was showing that EVERY VOICE MATTERS and that AGE DOESN’T.
My favourite character was Jas, short for Jasmine.
I would recommend this book to people who like to read about ACTIVISTS ( FICTION )

I liked this book because of how it showed that young children could make a big change. My favourite character was Jas (Jasmine) because she was kind to her friends and a good problem solver. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dolphins, and saving the ocean.

Very well written book telling the dangers of plastic and balloons etc for dolphins and sea life. Quite an easy read and ideal for slightly younger children.

This book was different to other books I have read by Elizabeth Laird but I enjoyed reading it.

Finn lives in a remote Scottish island. His mother died and he is raised by his father, who will not let Finn near the coast.

Finn is lonely and struggles to make friends and after an altercation with the other children in the village, Finn falls onto the harbour and discovers he has a magical gift.

In sharing this with the other children in the village, he makes friends and together they join forces to raise awareness of plastic pollution and it’s impact on marine wildlife.

A great read for LKS2.

It's an amazing book because Finn and his friends help save dolphins from being killed by balloons on the balloon festival after Finn makes friends with them when he finds out his mom was a dolphin person.

I really liked all of the characters

I loved this story and all the characters in it.

Amazing story which covers friendship issues, belonging and environmental issues too. Fab read, my class and I were hooked.

I really liked this book I think now it is my favourite book

this is a fiction book. yes I would recommend this book to people who like animals

My favourite character was Finn because at the start of the book he was a very lonely boy and then he made loads of dolphin friends in the sea and then he finds out that he can swim really well and he can even leap like a dolphin.
I would recommend the book to someone else.

I think this book would be suitable for people around the age 8 or 9. I felt that the book was too fast and short for me. The book had around 200 pages but the writing was quite big. The book had little description but it had pictures to make up for it.
This book is based on a serious issue that is still happening today; plastic pollution. In the book, the main character describes what happens to the animals and how serious the issue is. The damage that plastic pollution can inflict is hard to believe unless you have seen it with your own eyes. This is portrayed clearly in the book.
I would recommend this book to a younger reader who likes books based off real life situations.

I thought that this book was wonderful especially how it was linked to plastic pollution.
I recommend this to everyone!!!

I thought it was funny and sad in parts of the book. When the dolphins got tangled up in the balloon string it was like I was there when it happened, it was so sad.

I really enjoyed this book! Perfect for eco-warriors aged between 7 and 12.

Sad when you think that the dolphins might die but happy when Finn and the lighthouse crew save them. Very adventurous and I would only recommend this book to about 9-11 year olds.

I really liked this book because as well as being about including everyone no matter what, it was also about saving our planet and the oceans! I would definitely recommend this book because its amazing.
