"As moving as a sonnet, as eloquetnly structured as a bell curve, this
book poignantly explores the most profound of themes - what it means to
be human...A frequently dazzling novel."
-- Publishers Weekly, starred review
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 ocean home...

"Like her Newbery Award-winning Out of the Dust, Hesse once again
celebrates a child's ability to extract beauty, pleasure and even signs
of hope for her harsh surroundings...This brave heroine will pass the
torch to readers everywhere; her courage is infectious."
