In every class, there’s a kid who’s a little bit different, a little bit on the ‘slow’ side. When she first sees Sushmita, with her sweet round face and innocent eyes, the principal of Rugged Rocks High is worried. “Putting that lovely child amongst our kids? “It’s like putting a dugong into a tank of barracudas!” And she’s right to worry!

But Sushmita has other ways to fight back against bullies, and somehow, having her among them changes all the children’s lives for the better.

In Dugong and the Barracudas, Ranjit Lal tackles the subject of prejudice, bullying and ‘special needs’ with his signature blend of humor and insight, challenging young readers to step out of their own skins and see the world through someone else’s eyes.
