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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Hesse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0590897985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780590897983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scholastic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.24w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e17783 \/ Music of Dolphins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunshine State Young Reader's Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunshine State Young Reader's Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nutmeg Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Keystone to Reading Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Black-Eyed Susan Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/02\/1998","brand":"Karen Hesse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052013842687,"sku":"9780590897983","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d320704-87d9-4205-b7db-b0d5fe8eb9c7.jpg?v=1685016475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-music-of-dolphins-karen-hesse-9780590897983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
