The Music of Dolphins
The Music of Dolphins | Karen Hesse
1 post | 8 read | 1 to read
A stunning novel about a 'wild girl' who is discovered swimming with the dolphins, and the story of people's attempts to make her truly human. Mila creates headlines around the world when she is rescued from an unpopulated island off the coast of Florida. Now a teenager, she has been raised by dolphins from the age of four. Researchers teach Mila language and music. She learns, too, about rules and expectations, about locked doors and broken promises, disappointment and betrayal. The more Mila finds out what it means to be human, the more deeply she longs for her island home With a highly original narrative style to mirror its plot, this is an unusual, moving and appealing story which stays in the mind long after it is read.

#RiotGrams Day 18: I am aware of the distinct #Music of dolphins and must have heard it at one point. Karen Hesse is usually a hit or miss for me (loved Out of the Dust and Rifka but didn‘t like her later novels) - but this one I look forward to reading when I get a middle grade reading vibe soon enough.
