A glittering story of summer holidays and fun on the sand, but finding a stray dog is the most thrilling thing of all. Robin's fear of dogs gradually subsides as he waits to see if the real owners of 'Friday' will come to claim him. All the time his love and affection grow. The crazy exploits that happen remind us of how much he loves the dog, they fill the story with fun and keep us biting our nails in excitement.
