Their journey leaves Danny battling his overwhelming longing for the sea, and Danny's half-sister Sandy fighting for her father's approval. The experience will bring out the best and worst in the group and eventually compel each of them to ask the ultimate question: What does it mean to be human?

About the Author:

Kate Thompson lives in Ireland, where she writes novels for children and young adults. She has been awarded the Bisto Book of the Year Award by Children's Books Ireland three times.

From Booklist:

Gr. 6-9. Fantasy and sf components again unite in the Missing Link trilogy's second entry, in which Christie and his stepbrother, Danny, who is part dolphin, join an expedition to find the yeti and trace human evolution. As in Fourth World (2005), talking animals introduce levity, but the ramifications of genetic tinkering loom large: frog-girl Sandy (who looks like "something out of a horror story") fiercely resents her progenitors, and Danny feels painfully torn between land and sea. Christie often seems a curiously distanced narrator, but the explorations of identity and science ethics will satisfy returning readers. Jennifer Mattson
