Secret Friends (2009)
Secret Friends
“A small group of volunteers stuck closely to her, watching how she dealt with the newly admitted birds and asking hundreds of questions. It was late afternoon by the time all the birds had been bathed and left to dry in the small back room. Most of the volunteers went home after that, leaving Claudia to make notes on the treatments given. Antonia helped Cai to clear up the mess in the sink, then, as he went outside to hang the aprons out to dry, she hot-footed it over to Claudia’s desk.
“Is eve...rything all right?” asked Claudia.
Before Antonia had a chance to reply, Cai came back.
“Yes, I just came to say…” Antonia hesitated. She desperately wanted to ask Claudia if she could become a Silver Dolphin without waiting for the dolphin’s call, so she could warn Spirit about the oil spill. But she couldn’t ask when Cai was hovering.
“Is there anything else that needs doing?” she finished lamely.
Antonia wasn’t surprised at the look Cai gave her. It was a silly question. There was always something to do at Sea Watch.MoreLess
