The Storm Bottle Blog Tour and Review

The Storm Bottle

Swimming with dolphins is said to be the number one thing to do before you die. For 12-year-old Michael, it very nearly is. A secret boat trip has gone tragically wrong, and now he lies unconscious in hospital.

But when Michael finally wakes up, he seems different. His step sister Bibi is soon convinced that he is not who he appears to be. Meanwhile, in the ocean beyond Bermuda’s reefs, a group of bottlenose dolphins are astonished to discover a stranger in their midst – a boy lost and desperate to return home.

Bermuda is a place of mysteries. Some believe its seas are enchanted, and the sun-drenched islands conceal a darker past, haunted with tales of lost ships. Now Bibi and Michael are finding themselves in the most extraordinary tale of all.

Review:

Very cute story. Michael and Bibi are brother and sister. They live in Bermuda. One day they go on a boat ride with one of Bibi friends. They see a dolphin in the water and Bibi dives into the water wanting to swim with it - Michael dives in too. While swimming Michael gets caught in a current. Bibi tries hard to save him - but a dolphin ends up saving him. When they get him on the boat and back to the shore he is breathing but in a coma. He is in coma for a few days but when he comes too - he is a bit mixed up. Something strange happened to him while he was out - could he have switched spirits with one of the dolphins? You will need to read The Storm Bottle to find out. I am sure you will enjoy it - It is a great Mid grade read.
