Book Review By Crystal
The Music of Dolphins by Karen Hesse

Mila is a young female who was found in the Anguila Cays just off Miami. She is not like other children, as she had been raised by dolphins. She was found dirty and naked, and spoke no human language. After she is put in an institution, Mila goes through a range of emotions as she learns to speak and write English, meets another child in the hospital, becomes friends with a female doctor, makes music on a recorder, and is attracted to a teenage boy.
