Narration To Books The Music of Dolphins

They call her Mila, from the Spanish word for "miracle." Lost after a plane crash when she was small, Mila has been cared for ever since by dolphins. When she is eventually spotted on an unpopulated island off Cuba, she is an adolescent and seems hardly human to her rescuers.
Mila is taken to a child study center in Boston. Eager to please, she makes rapid progress in language and social skills. With her recorder, Mila finds she can even make music like the dolphin songs she yearningly remembers.
But the more Mila discovers about what it means to be human--the locked doors, the rules, the betrayals--the more she longs for her watery home and gentle dolphin family. In an emotionally wracking conclusion, she returns to the world where her ears never want for song. Where, although she cannot stand on her tail or jump the waves, she is part of the music of dolphins.

Piece Out Of Books The Music of Dolphins

As soon as I started reading, I didn't like it. The font was huge and it was written extremely simply. As I got the recommendation from a teen book (honey for a teens heart), I thought it would be very different, not written simple enough for a 6yo learning to read. But it did get a little better in the end. I see that there are lots of reviews on this book, good and bad, so you'll have to read it to see if you like it or not!!!

Simply put, this is one of the greatest books I have ever read. Karen Hesse's ingenious interpretations of life lived like an animal gave me constant, visible chills all over my body. The writing is perfect, and I won't spoil the story by saying too much in this review; I'll just say this is an awe-inspiring masterpiece of literature, and in a year of incredible Newbery contenders (including Jerry Spinelli's Crash and E.L. Konigsburg's The View From Saturday), I would have awarded the 1997

early interest in wild children: story of a girl who was raised with dolphins, "rescued," and re-integrated with human society. at first she displays an eager aptitude, like, she always knew she had something those dolphins didn't! & then, inevitably, a depressed sense of loss, like, she always knew she had something those humans didn't. first-person narration exploits her development, makes an eight year old linguaphile feel like a real scientist. there's a brief description of the way she

I picked this book up when I was in fourth grade. It was then that I decided I wanted to become an author myself.Yes, a little girl wouldn't be able to survive out at sea for so long. But isn't that the beauty of fiction? Do readers of vampire novels stop and think "How come their skin isn't rotting away, if they're dead?" No, of course they don't. So, you really shouldn't spoil a good story with rational thoughts.Anyway, back to the book. It's one of my favorite stories from when I was younger.

This one has been on my reading list for a while after reading Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse, I wanted to read more things by her. This basically follows Mila as she is rescued from the sea and acclimated to the human world after living with and being raised by dolphins for four years. I appreciated the audiobook version because its told in first person and Michele McHall beautifully captures the voice and essence of a girl who is just learning how to speak and use words. Its a lovely

I read this with my son's third grade class last May. So, memories are dim. I consider this Flowers for Algernon lite. The author attempts to teach a similar lesson, that human beings are complex and as experiment subjects, things don't always turn out the best for them, but it doesn't really have the same aftertaste.A girl survives a plane accident when she is around 4 (her mother and brother die), but she is never discovered and spends the next decade living with an adoptive pod of dolphins

I read this book in junior high school and it was amazing; going back and reading it again sort of changed my opinion on it slightly but nonetheless it's a great book for middle-grade readers.
