I have just finished this book for the 100th time! it is just as moving now as it was three years ago when i first read it. Vicky went through the same boy problems that i am. i wish that i could communicate like she did with those dolphins. i am not a fan of L'Engle but this book blew me away. it shows that death can impact us all and that the pretty boy isn't always the best. i am so glad that she wrote this book! it is profound and is for all ages not just children and teens.
