On the tiny Lysy Island, at the Scientific Center for the Study of the Ocean and its inhabitants (above all, dolphins), lives an ordinary boy, Seryozha. He is bored; he is lonely in the world of adults around him. But then two more children arrive on the island—a brother and sister, Maxim and Ros’ka. Together the three boys eagerly explore the little island and during one of their excursions they find themselves in a forbidden zone. They learn that this strip of land conceals many secrets and riddles they will have to solve…
By genre, “Children of the Dolphins” is an adventure science-fiction tale.
