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"
