These high school students are very different, entering adulthood, but the dolphin rescue station "Desta" has brought them all together: the strict Vika, the hot-headed Andrey, the quiet Ulya, and the proactive Pasha. "Desta" is not only a place for helping animals but also a shore of hope and change. It seems that under the unspoken slogan "Respect, Help, Work" an ideal team has formed, taking care of the dolphin Sofia and organizing charity events… However, the moment of truth arrives when misfortune strikes the station. Faced with pain and betrayal, the volunteers change before our eyes. Who of them will drop out, and who will not give in and will not break?
In "Sofia's Shore," writer Eva Nemesh not only speaks about overcoming difficulties but also reflects on what concerns all teenagers: the balance between the degree of personal freedom in decision-making and parents' ambitions.
Previously, in "KompasGuide," the author's collection of stories "Smells Like Dog" and the novella "White Dove, Black Elephant" were published. Despite the fact that this story immerses us in the life of the Netherlands in the 17th century, it is easy to read: thrilling adventures serve as a backdrop for the hero's coming of age, and his desire to understand people and influence his future cannot help but evoke sympathy. The dynamic plot will appeal to both younger teenagers and those who are older.
