This book is about a girl who has been in a plane crash. She survived, yet the rest of the crew and passengers did not. Dolphins who lived in the sea where the plane crash happened rescued the lost little girl. A a mother dolphin who did not have a baby of her own, took the lost girl into her own hands and fed her the baby dolphin milk and taught her how to hunt and become a real dolphin.
A couple years later, the girl was like as human dolphin until the most heart breaking thing happened to the girl! Rescue workers were doing there daily rounds when they spotted a little girl sitting on the beach. She looked not healthy and was very dirty. They were able to catch her and bring her to the hospital were a doctor taught her everything a human girl her age should know. From letters to words to numbers. The doctor also wanted to learn dolphin talk.
There was so much hope for the little girl. Yet she wanted to go home, not the home she lived in before the crash, but the one where she new the most. The sea.
Will she get back home to the sea? Will she stay at the hospital learning words forever ? Or will she go live with relatives that she is related to?
