Cassie & Tobias realise they have been having the same dream, a cry for help coming from the depths of the ocean. Soon, a plan is hatched - and new animal forms acquired - seagulls, dolphins - in order to hopefully pull off a rescue mission. The stakes are raised when they realise that Visser Three is also searching. Cassie really struggles with the ethics of morphing into more sentient creatures (dolphins) and feeling responsible for putting the others in dangerous situations. The sound effects in the audiobook really add to the experience.
