Touching the Waves (Dolphin Diaries)

Summary: Neat, But...
Review: Dolphin Diaries is a fun, and slightly addicting series. The story is entertaining, although usually unrealistic. There's a one-in-a-million chance that a wild dolpin would become so understanding, humanly, and attached to Jody as Apollo. But it makes the story interesting.

This the only part that seriously bugged me: Jody and her family visit a center that uses dolphins for their work. But they're not captive. Every Sunday the gate leading to the open ocean is opened, and they're allowed to swim out into the sea. They always come back, but when one doesn't the owners freak out and start searching for it and trying to lure it back! Why open the sea gate for the dolphins when they're just going to chase them back? I thought that was kind of strange.

But if you like dolphins, or love good stories about pre-teen girls, I think you'll enjoy this series. It is very original, and inspiring.

Review: This is a very good book for not just younger children but older children also. I should know because I am Thirteen years old. I have read the first and second books in the Dolphin Diaries series and can't wait to read the Riding the Storm.
