Mila, abandoned after an accident, is adopted by a family of dolphins. She grows up learning their language and thinking like them. One day, humans come to take her away. Mila loves playing games and making friends with the doctors but she misses her home. She yearns to be with the sea and her family again. Mila is growing sicker by the day because she feels like she is a prisoner. Will she ever be set free? One of the coolest features of this book is the voice of Mila through her diary. The first few chapters are in huge font with simplistic words. They become more detailed she expands her vocabulary. She learns how to express herself through words and music but at what price? Good for grades 4 and up.
Food for thought: Would you like to live in the sea?
Do you think people learn to be angry or afraid or are they born with it?
