Just Keep Going
Just Keep Going
Would you risk everything to save a dolphin?
When champion windsurfer Becky Samuels returns to New Zealand during the pandemic, everything’s changed. Dad’s moved house, and Becky has a new stepmum, and an annoying baby brother. Even worse, Becky’s windsurfing board hasn’t arrived.
After Becky finds an obsidian stone, everything changes. She makes friends at school, joins an environmental group, borrows a board, and has several close encounters with an inquisitive dolphin. It’s friendly, but Becky can’t shake the feeling it’s trying to tell her something.
As poachers steal fish from the local marine reserve, rubbish washes up on the beach, and brooding storm clouds gather.
If Becky is the dolphin’s only hope, will she be able to save it?
If your young reader likes fast-paced adventure, strong heroines, and magical vibes, they’ll love this book!
For readers aged 9-12 years.
“A very readable light adventure featuring, as well as the joys of windsurfing, environmental concerns, a dolphin that seems to want to communicate something, and a couple of baddies to add to the intrigue.” Flaxflower
"Donna Blaber delivers vivid landscapes that do New Zealand's coastlines justice and keeps the story moving along with enough attention spread between the characters, so that the reader stays involved and engaged in the story, rooting for our heroine. This novel will definitely appeal to 8-12-year-old readers. And it has me seeking out the two previous titles in the trilogy!" Alan Dingley, Magpies, Talking About Books for Children.
“Great for girls of intermediate and junior secondary age especially reluctant readers.” Bob Docherty, Bobs Books Blog
“Just Keep Going is an engaging read with delightful characters and wonderful messages about the environment and the importance of friends and family…” Karen McMillan, NZ Booklovers
