This book was one of my elective reads, I think I am becoming increasingly more alarmed that I have not read more Madeleine L'Engle in my life, and I plan to amend this immediately. This book follows Vicky, who returns to a summer home and becomes involved with a science project involving communication with dolphins. Meanwhile, she is learning how she feels about religion, death, and boyfriends. This book is not to be confused with the horrible, watered down, counterfeit Disney movie that shares its title; this book was deep. It managed to entertain me and sparked thoughts about religion and spirituality in the most unobtrusive way. The characters were moral and yet real as they contemplated many different themes like death, abuse, love, spirituality, and religion. Yet I never felt preached at, any more than the characters admitted to preaching. I felt like it was an extremely contemplative book that came to no concrete answers. I definitely see that this might be frustrating for some readers, and though the plot was not always the most action-packed, it was still engaging and interesting. I think it is a book that LDS audiences especially could appreciate it--I know that enhanced my enjoyment of it very much. It explores the realm of spirituality verse religion in a challenging, yet respectful way, and raises important questions about morality, without being too moralistic. Furthermore, it is squeaky clean, but not obnoxiously so. I really appreciated this book.
