Description
Bennett and Lola are dogs, but they sure aren’t scurvy. They’re Chihuahuas who live a hilarious double life: pampered pets that dabble in solving mysteries. They’ve made a new friend, Bonnie, the young girl tasked with looking after them. When the dogs and Bonnie help rescue a pod of beached dolphins, they meet a fisherman who shows them the “pirate verses,” an old set of clues about the buried treasure’s location. They then join forces with twelve-year-old Jordy to find the loot.
Unfortunately, the dogs and kids aren’t the only ones seeking the treasure. Pell, the selfish descendant of pirates himself, will stop at nothing to get the gold. But when Pell’s greed gets everyone into hot water, Bonnie, Jordy, and the pups must rely on other animal friends from the sea and sky for help.
Where Dolphins Dive is a middle-grade fantasy adventure that’s full of laughs, thrills, and North Carolina history.

This is the third book in the Starfoot and Brown series. I love that this book disguises learning in a fun and engaging story. There is a lot of action and adventure in this book that would appeal to young children. Cora is busy writing this summer so brings her niece Bonnie to Bald Head Island to take care of her chihuahuas (the dog detectives), Lola and Bennett. Jordy makes another appearance in this book as Bonnie's friend. The children meet Captain Took who just happens to have a pirate map and enlists the help of the kids to help find the treasure. There is also another Captain, "Pell Smell" who is trying to find the treasure and he is not a very nice man. In solving the map the reader learns about poetry, the history of pirates in the area and about the wonder of wildlife in the North Carolina coastal area. With the help of Moc (a mockingbird), Dolby (a dolphin) and the Dog Detectives, the children locate the spots referred to by the clues in the map. A great message and a wonderful story to share it. I loved the illustrations as well. This is a great series for middle readers.
