Publisher Description
Schneider Family Book Award-winning author Ginny Rorby has created an irresistible dolphin story about a girl's struggle to help her autistic brother and herself.Lily loves her half-brother, Adam, but she has always struggled with him, too. He's definitely on the autism spectrum -- though her step-father, Don, can barely bring himself to admit it -- and caring for him has forced Lily to become as much mother as sister. All Lily wants is for her step-father to acknowledge that Adam has a real issue, that they need to find some kind of program that can help him. Then maybe she can have a life of her own. Adam's always loved dolphins, so when Don, an oncologist, hears about a young dolphin with cancer, he offers to help. He brings Lily and Adam along, and Adam and the dolphin -- Nori -- bond instantly. But though Lily sees how much Adam loves Nori, she also sees that the dolphin shouldn't spend the rest of her life in captivity, away from her family. Can Adam find real help somewhere else? And can Lily help Nori regain her freedom without betraying her family?

How to speak dolphin
This book is good I would say. I was really excited to read this book because I'm obsessed with dolphins, but it wasn't what I was expecting... At all. This book doesn't challenge you with the vocabulary, or doesn't make you want to read on at some parts. This book doesn't only have flaws, it was good too! It takes your heart as you read on, it's about how an autistic child only was normal and not crazy around Dolphins and how he reacts and connects with them. So it is inspirational. But the vocabulary she uses in the book isn't challenging and sometimes you zone off because you don't like what you reading (but that only happens like 18 times, just kiddy!!! It happens about 3-4 times).
So I think I liked this book, but I've read better books. So I'm kinda disappointed but I liked it...😊😞 YAH BUT NAAEE
