I loved this story. I live in Florida about 45 minutes away from the author’s home town. There is nothing I love more than watching dolphins. In this day and age so many people think about money and not the consequences of their actions. The fishing industry is a large one and often we would hear of dolphins and turtles getting trapped in the nets. Laws were put in place to stop the senseless death of these wonderful animals. No everyone likes it or thinks it is necessary. In this story we see a young captain who feels just that way. She believes that it is okay to break the law. That is she feels that way until she falls overboard and is turned into a dolphin. She is given the chance to return to the life of a human and to make changes to help save the dolphins. This is a powerful message told in a simple form. Kudos to the author for finding a way to bring an important message to our young people. It is important that they learn these lessons as children so they may grow up to become responsible adults.
