Dolphin Island
Arthur C. Clarke
Set in the near future, a
cargo hovership makes an emergency stop in the Midwest to make repairs.
An adventurous teenager, Johnny Clinton, sneaks on board.
About a
day later there is an explosion, the craft comes to a stop in the
southern Pacific Ocean, and starts to sink. Its crew, not aware they had
a stowaway, leaves on a lifeboat. The craft sinks entirely leaving
Johnny swimming around in a field of debris. He climbs onto a larger
piece to use as a raft though has no food or shelter.
Johnny is
rescued by a pod of dolphins who push his raft 100 miles to an island in
the heart of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. There, Johnny meets the
brilliant and eccentric Professor Kazan, who has dedicated his life to
the study of dolphin communication. Johnny's further adventures with
dolphins and the sea make this an exciting and fascinating coming-of-age
story.
