When a dolphin named Winter loses her tail in a crab trap, it’s up to a young boy named Sawyer and the staff at Clearwater Marine Aquarium to help her survive against the odds. Sawyer is quiet at first, but his special connection with Winter soon brings him out of his shell. One day, after visiting his cousin at an army hospital, Sawyer gets an idea to have a doctor there make Winter a prosthetic tail. This proposal inspires the staff at the aquarium and fills Sawyer with the hope that Winter may one day swim again.

I LOVE THIS BOOK AND MOVIE IT IS SAD I CRIED BECAUSE THE DOLPHIN HURT HIS TAIL IT WAS SO SAD BUT MY POINT IS THAT I LIKE THIS BOOK AS MUCH AS I LIKE THIS BOY

This is a really good book and movie. This is about a boy named sawyer who findes a dolphine stuck to a lobster cage. Winter (the dolphine) was taken to Clearwater Marine Hospital. Winter's tale was too infected so they had to take the dolphine's tale off. But how can Winter live if she couldnt swim? Winter found out a way to swim by moving it side to side. But still not a happy ending. Dolphines' bodys are not made to swim like that. Gust like us are spine comtrolls all the stuff in are body so if Winter kept on swiming like that she would die. Sawyer gets a doctor to make a prosthetic (or new) tale for Winter. With all the money they made from see winter day tey wer able to make winter a tale. Now winter is at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in flordia. You can see winter live on www.seewinter.com follow me ~tomboy4eve~ bye
